I'd like to say...

That I, the newb, have made my first performance mod to Kimberly (my veo).
Not 15 min ago, I finished Installing my brand new Short Intake. I am freaking out, because along
with it being my first mod on Kim, it is my first mod EVER! So yay for me!!!

I drove it around the block and oooohhh it sounded sexy , loud :P , and i noticed an extreme
improvement in my lower RPMs . So once again I am happy and I want tips on what to do next.
I am already waiting for my Megan M-N1 exhaust, so telling me to get a muffler is no neccesary.

Thanks for any words of wisdom. oh, and i will be posting a pic of her soon.

congrats! you already know about the muffler being next, but i'd take it one step further and go for the whole catback exhaust

I heard (on aveo, kalos, swift forum) that getting a cat would take away hp/torque. Is that for real?!

lol thanks for all those points, i was going to wait a few weeks for the res removal though.
i have plans for my ground wire kit next.

and here are the pics

I heard that if things aren't set up a certain way ,that a Cat back exhaust could damage your hp gains and actually make you loose hp too. But that was from my brother, who drives a honda civic and LOVES giving me a hard time.

i read on here if u go bigger then 2 inch piping from the cat back the back pressure will be to low and u'll loose power instead of gaining it. i dont think there is a big difference if u keep the stock cat on or if u put a high flow on further back, i could be wrong but ive heard that putting a high flow cat on there really isnt that much of a difference in flow.

oh hes one of those honda guys...you need to make sure the piping is the optimum size for what your doing....i cant see a 2.25" exhaust hurting hp gains on an aveo

[melficersx]

2.5 outlet? and how much would a high flow be??

[AVE0SAM]

its been so long since I've argued about exhausts that I forget what size I was argueing for but I am pretty sure you wouldnt want anything over 2.25" with the aveo....stock size pipe is 1.75" and 2.5" would be too big unless you were running a turbo or supercharger

..actually i take that back, I'm pretty sure it was 2" that was a good size for the normally modded aveo. I believe it was brian that went from a 2.25" exhaust to a 2" exhaust and felt like he had gained more, which could be true but someone also mentioned the horrible bends that the stock system has also really effects the exhaust flow

I have a 2'' cat-back exhaust, no loss here, infact i think i gained a bit of mid range power over just having a muffler
