I believe my year Malibu (2017) has the automatic transmission and the 2019-2020 Malibu’s now have the CVT transmission, so I wouldn’t know how good it is or the comparison. 👍
You got lucky with that virtually same Mali driving by at the same time. You could see the difference between what you did and stock right here in the video. That was dope.
Ponyboy Caulfield For me I haven’t had drone on the highway at least very unnoticeable drone and I’ve been on the highway quite a lot. With music on, not even blasting, the car definitely sounds normal. And I definitely feel gains in hp especially with the air intake but nothing proven on a dyno or anything like that. 👍
No I just believe not to many people do it, I definitely don’t think it’s looked down upon by the majority it’s just not that common for us 4-cylinder engines 👍
I don't think he really floored it though so can really hear it... I drive one every day and it sounds like it would be nasty with a straight pipe seeing I have a heavy foot and not much patience for traffic. 😂
@@malibucustoms4428 Mine now is tuned for 91 octane highest we got in canada where I live, it dumps bit more fuel between shifts creates a nasty crackle when shifts, I got them to add a custom launch control, its actually so funny doesnt sound like it should be coming from a Malibu. I have the stock intake all custom to keep the forced induction, so its always in boost. it's still 2.5 inch straight pipe to a vibrant muffler makes it sound like it has a downpipe! sadly no one has made down pipes for these yet because its not a motor you see people build! Stock the car would peak 18psi and hold 16 now makes 21 sometimes 22 on a good day and hold 18.5psi. Sits around 220hp and 244ft/lbs compared to the stock 160hp and 183ft/lbs it's fun and quick but sucks it is such a heavy car!
I have a 2017 Malibu and I’ve been wanting to do something like this as well. Btw I love the look and sound of yours bro! How much was the muffler and resonator delete plus the new exhaust pipe end?
Appreciate that bro! I definitely wanted to change the look of it. And the new exhaust pipe with resonator and muffler delete was about $150 (which depends on the shop) and the exhaust tip was $35 👍
Decades ago, we drilled holes in the mufflers of our mopeds to catch a few more mph. This is a nice looking car, but it sounds like sheeeeiiiitttt, just like those mopeds did.
Thank you! and congratulations on the new car! I’m sure your going to love it and it sounds better than what I expected. I’m going to try the dual pipes soon as well👏💯
@@malibucustoms4428 you know what I did I took my 2020 in to my buddy of 25 years I only have the drop in k&n both the high performance one like you. As far as exaust I have thrush turbo u see my car with a down pipe and a qtp electronic cutout I'll be posting a video today of what it sounds like closed the I'll post one with it open makes a big big dofference
I got the same whip i can keep up with 392s and 5.0 mustangs all day. just got a 3 inch catless down pipe and a bigger exhaust housing pushing like 29psi on a hot day
4 cylinder turbo in a Malibu... Now without the resonator or muffler it sounds just like a Cavalier with a fart can LOL bring back the naturally aspirated V6 and call it a day Chevrolet.
Be careful... it's a hit or miss with these ecotec engines. I personally had many issues with 3 different year malibus and impalas and their ecotecs burn oil after certain amount of miles and be ready to drop money on repairs once you hit 75000 miles or higher on some of these.
Appreciate that insight 💪💪💯💯 I’m still at 30k and so far no issues and everything seems to be reliable on my end so I haven’t got to that point. Hopefully it’s not like that but if it is then my review will definitely change lol, I would’ve hope that it could make it to at least 100k before major issues but we’ll see. Thank you for that info 👏
I would say get whatever you prioritize or want to build your car around. For me I started with the wheels and just built around that, in which I got the Calipers painted then the stripes, then the spoiler, and completely went for a sport car look. Then after the aesthetics I got the muffler and resonator delete for the sound to complete the sport vibes. So for me I saved up and started with the wheels cause that’s what I prioritize and wanted the most and went from there. If you’re already okay with your wheels then you can start small, with small aesthetic upgrades like a simple spoiler, caliper paint and etc. Or if you want to get straight into small performance upgrades and great sounds then you can start out with an aftermarket short ram air intake, like the K&N I have and see how you like it and then get a muffler delete for louder exhaust sound if that’s what you like 👍💪💪
last year i invested in a 2019 malibu, i kinda want to get a new exhaust installed on it, and after watching your video this is kind of the one i want installed now. mine is a malibu rs, so i wouldnt mind 2 pipes sticking out the back like that :)
Is this the 1.5 model? Because I have the same one and want to put mods on it. Also what color is the Malibu. Beautiful car and that’s exactly how I want mine to sound.
Yes it is the 1.5 trim 👍 and it’s just a regular stock gloss black color, I don’t know the exact color code if that’s what you were referring to and I appreciate that! And most definitely if you like it that’s all that matters 💪💯💯
@@josiahchavez6701 I'm a car guy. Do you know what a resonator is? This car makes fart noise and it doesn't translate to power. Put a resonator on it and people will immediately think you have something special.
You're car I beautiful. I just bought a 22, a white rs. I couldn't decide black or white, but the shortage helped make the decision. Your black out lights, are they film or covers? Thanks.
Would you recommend getting the RS for appearance or the Premier for the 2.0? I wish they made the RS with the 2.0 cause the RS looks the best but it’s not as fast as the luxury trim
Hey bro, and personally just my opinion I would go with the premiere because you can always upgrade the appearance to be similar or even a lot better than the RS without breaking the bank. The bigger engine in the 2.0 would be something that you wouldn’t be able to duplicate cheaply or at all with the RS (Considering you got the same modifications for both). So if you were able to choose between the two, I would go with the premiere 👍
Where did you find the chrome trims for the rear reflector lights ? I Can't find it enywhere . By the way nice car , my 2017 LT malibu is pretty similar to that !
That's crazy how all these Chevys used to be V8 and now they went down to be sixes and then now they're down to inline fours all turbocharged I have a standard 08 hhr but I really wanted the ss model or a chevy impala Lt or ss then I found out about the chevy ss sedan from Australia and that shit is goated but it only lasted from 2015 to 2017 so there hard to find now I'm kinda wanting a chevy malibu or impala for more room and power.
@@malibucustoms4428 I’m fully straight piped. So the constant droning for me is just getting annoying now lol, and I got state reffed anyways. so I’m going to a muffler and resonator set up
Ooo ok gotcha 👌 yea I’m sure that full straight pipe probably is a little to much when it comes to the drone and it can definitely get annoying 🤦♂️fully understandable bro 👏👏
@@malibucustoms4428 keep them fingers crossed bro! These ecotecs dont take too much abuse and they have tons of problems later on with higher miles over 75000.
Do you run into any problems with your o2 sensor cause I’m gonna do exhaust work on mine and before I do I want to make sure I’m not gonna mess something up where it would void my warranty
I did exactly the same thing on my 2017, but now I can't get it inspected, illegal here in north Carolina! Gonna cost me twice to put it back original,👺

What does it sound like when you’re driving on the highway?

Thank you 💪💪
You got any mufflers also did u upgrade the whole exhaust to a 2.75? Like all the piping up to the cAt
Why y’all hatin on the man at least he got a open mind that shit nice for a Malibu bruh good shit
Sounds good man
