welcome to the site man, my girlfriend says I am obsessed too.
You might want to start collecting cans for extra money for mods........................... -
Mine is Silver Birch and I love it, but you cannot go wrong with black either.................
-
welcome to the site.
Sorry man, that big front bumper kinda makes the SS somewhat unique................................... -
welcome to the site, good luck with your SS. Get ready to throw every last penny you have out the window..................

welcome to the site dude

sounds like a sweet truck man, welcome to the site.........

Has anyone with a 2wd SS had any problems with traction in the snow????
what kind of a question is that? if you live in a place where it snows often a 2wd no matter what kind isnt going to get any kind of decent traction in snow condtions , having a light rear and all your power coming from it does not help. so if you can try not to drive the 2wd if you know your going to have to have go through snow, or bring chains.
I have only had the truck since June, so snow driving experience with my SS is a big zero. I have already purchased the ShurTrax bed weight system and I hope that it helps. I wish my SS was AWD but that wasn't an option for '06. Fortunately, up here in NY we are having one of the warmest winters on record. With the bed weight and traction control I think I will be OK in the snow.

welcome to the site man, go for it and make the switch to an SS, you won't be sorry.
-
Hell yes I drive my truck in the snow. I even take it mudding. Its a pickup truck its suppose to get dirty.
That is the most horrible thing I have seen lately...........

Drive it like you stole it dude!!
I have a heavy foot, and get 11-13mpg around town and 14-17mpg on the highway, depending on how far over the speed limit I go.......................

have not had any snow here in NY yet....
My SS is my daily driver and will be driven in the snow if we get some this year. -
nice videos dude, but that Cobalt SS should have reeled you in. Also, if the first guy wants his cavalier to have the ricer tuner image
(i.e. CF hood), he should ditch those crappy factory 14" plastic wheel covers for something nicer................. -
-
nice kill, he should just trade that piece of crap in at the next used car lot............

smash the piggy bank---making your SS faster can get expensive depending on what you do. I would start with a CAI, Cat-Back, and a tune. Good luck on your choices.
This has done well by me... I did an AEM Intake, Superchips programmer and swapped out my exhaust can. Runs 14.6 in 1/4 which is slowmotion compared to Chase or Chris but wins just about every stoplight to stoplight encounter you will have for less than $1000.00. Kind of the Dub-T approach to performance.
I hear that man, I have K&N CAI, Hypertech tune, and GM Perf. Parts exhaust, really woke up the performance. Well, performance on a budget, this truck was expensive..........................
-
The system I am looking at is a GM Performance Catback system, all stainless with a single exit and yes, the tip is seperate. The kit will cost me $429 plus the tip, I think about $40-50. I was just wondering if anybody else had this kit and if you liked it.
Yes, it sounds awesome. You cannot beat the price of the kit as compared to Corsa and the others..................
-
does the gm prformance exhaust come in an dual exhaust kit?
not for the SS, stock location only...............
-
This is the kit I have had my eye on also. The part number for the SS is 17800765. It is a "Performance" system. GM does not have a "Touring" system for the SS. The kit is made by BORLA.
I also would like feedback. I am concerned about the post stating there is a drone at 2000 RPM's. This is about where I'd be pulling a trailer at 65 with my truck. Is the part number above the one you have?
More feedback please.
Mike
Yes that is the kit I have.....and the tip is number 17802143. The drone is not bad, a nice mellow tone that is pleasant to listen to other than your stereo.
GM does not have a touring system for the SS because the SS comes with the touring system from the factory. You won't be sorry with the mean growl of this kit.

Welcome to the site.......I have an '06 SS and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
You won't be sorry you chose an SS. Good luck with your decision. -
sorry dude, I hail from the east coast........welcome to the site
-
Yeah i usually just turn it off every time im going to race.......
I agree, make it a habit to hit that button when you are gonna race. I even hit it when I am going to merge at WOT. I would rather bake the tires that get slammed by another car because the Traction kicked in.
-
Unless be just blows the tires off. If so hold her to the floor and make him catch ya.
my only saving grace would be if he broke traction and I hooked up right away. Ah, who the hell knows. Lets just see what happens in the future.
-
My uncle just bougth a left over '06 GT. When he breaks it in, I plan on running him heads up. I will post the outcome sometime in the future. I honestly don't think that a 5000 pound truck that has basic mods like mine could beat a 3000 pound car with 300hp, we will see. Maybe in a few years when I add a Vortech supercharger I will smoke him for sure.
You will loose even if he sucks at driving.
yeah I have a feeling that I will be playing catch up.

you're not alone man. I have only had mine 6 months and it started doing it recently. I don't hear it that often over the exhaust and stereo. It is not annoying enough yet to take it to the dealer..................
