I know right. Just blew my motor in my 08 LT. Putting a new engine in her as we speak with only 30k on it. She blew at 160K. Last owner kept it stock but didn’t take care of it. I was bringing her back to life piece by piece and maybe having to much fun with her.
My sister gave me her 2.2 lt, and at first I thought nothing of it but to use it as my daily for work. But then since I have body shop education, I thought it will put my skills to the test and my knowledge. Now I'm like wait what else can I do to this lil bad boy. Its only got 85k and this video opened my eyes to whats possible with this car!
After driving mine from California to Washington and back I was amazed at the performance. I decided to fix everything broken and now I am looking to enhance.
Cobalt, G5, and Ion Redline videos are inspiration to us HHR LS guys. I made my own exhaust 2.50 out from the manifold, cats delete, resonator delete, cherry bomb single chamber, and 2.50 out to muffler. 😅
I agree with you on the exhaust. Bought the ZZP 2.5" exhaust for my LT about 6 months ago. Its sounds great and sounds better as you use it. One of my best purchases by far and a great price.
holy shit just realized zzperformance is located where i live. been coming back to this video a lot just to remind myself what are good options for modifying.
I have a 08 2.4 sport basically a N/A SS its lowered with the 2.5 inch zzp exhaust, after market intake at around 151k miles runs great, its not fast but its fun and will zip corners doesn't sound like a fart box honda neither.
honda sounds worse than the Cobalt. I know this because I know people who owns Cobalts, and tiny 4 cylinder equipped hondas. Any four cylinder motors below 2.0L is tiny.
I appreciate your honesty and personal thoughts. I have a 14 Sonic rs 6speed lowering springs, zzp tuned, k&n typhoon cold air intake,slotted rotors all around upgraded break pads,zzp rear sway bar,yellow led fog nights,led headlights,led rear turning single and break lights.zzp dash dual pods for boot gauge and battery, genuine Chevy roof rack,zzp front grill insert. Fun little car to drive around in and especially when getting on the highway lol.
I have an 08 Cobalt Sport I love the 2.4 in it! I have a ram air intake on it now has a deep tone. And some better plugs also from zzp. Plus some zzp stickers and oil cap of course Love these cars. I plan on putting in all the n/a mods i can. and building it all motor.
@Jay Iidd For power? Forced induction, turbo or supercharger. Everything else power wise KS a waste of time and money. Unless you are alright spending many hours and $1,500 to pick up 10hp. Beyond that, put in a rear sway bar, new control arms, and coil overs.
Recently I got a 2009 2.2 LT in good condition with 70,000 miles. Initially, my goal was to just improve its appearance and maintain its condition. It now looks pretty clean and almost at what I’m aiming for. I just installed a K&N cold air intake and it motivated me to explore what else I could do. I’m pretty aware that this car isn't ideal for extensive modifications, but I just want to somewhat upgrade it, considering it's my daily driver for the meanwhile until eventually get a new vehicle. This video honestly helped and gave me push I needed
I just got a 2010 cobalt lt 50k miles for 7k absolute steal I put Apple car play in it , new halo headlights, rubber floor mats , carbon fiber antenna , etc I just wanna keep it reliable through college and even my older life.
Sounds like a fantastic base to start from. Just a few bolt ons and some suspension mods and you'll have yourself an extremely fun reliable ride for years to come.

@@WramTheVinylGuy Hey, I know it's been a long time, but could you maybe drop some advice or links as to putting some forged goodies into the engine? I'm considering supercharging or turboing my 09 LT in like a year, I'm just not sure what I would need to replace and where to find those forged replacements. Yes, I am aware that turboing an LT is pretty weird, but thats the fun part about it lol. A couple of people keep telling me to just dunk a bunch of money into an SS instead, but surely it can't be too bad to change bits of my motor and just run some (relatively) low boost pressure. Like a K04 I mean.
Drive it as hard as you can for as long as you can. Plus side is parts are super cheap. Bolt ons and all the suspension mods in the book is a fun set up. #momentumcar
I don't have a 2.2 Cobalt but I share the same fate with the 2.2 ion, no tuning. By the time I wanted to even mod the car (was never interested in cars) was when I found out there was no tuning support. I'm glad I did the research 😂 but a couple suspension & N/A stuff doesn't hurt 😉
@@SimbaUchihaa I'm gonna be honest i barely know anything. Haltech is just an option, theres other ecu's as well. I was looking into megasquirt at first. I guess we have to read/watch TH-cam videos. Because I'm thinking of potentially running boost on a 03 Ion I just acquired.
Aftermarket injectors, cold air intake and ZZP shorty header-down pipe and cat back system. On a 2006 2.2 Ion manual gave my commuter car a noticeable punch and peep! I'm guessing 20ish HP, maybe more. No tune, no ECU reflash. Not sure if I just lucked out or what? Best $600 spent in my life, and I'm 53. Needed new exhaust anyhow, and OEM replacement was going to cost about the same...
Got a 09 Chevy cobalt LT coupe that just passed 196,000 miles on it. Ive had it for about 7 months and I’ve put headers, high flow cat, short ram intake and catback exhaust. It’s a sleeper lol. Still need a tune just saving some money
I have a 08 Cobalt Sport coupe with a 2.4 auto. trans. the car is pretty fun to drive as is & I always thought they were under rated as far as being a dependable . Thanks for the video. I'll just use the ( KISS ) method on mine.
I have an 09 lt auto. Wish it was a stick but it is what it is. They're fun little cars if u can hit peak tq during a shift from 2nd to 3rd gear, it feels like it's doing a little pull
Apparently the automatics were stronger than manual transmissions stock so I'm gonna test mine to the limit. Actually already have with neutral "launches" lol
Now the 2.4L in the cobalt is the same in the Malibu I have a 08 Malibu with a 2.4L LE5 engine and wondering will boost mods work I’ve seen one guy on TH-cam do it so far
If your gonna boost i would avoid the intake. I got a lsj intake from you guys and used it with my 2.4 setup m62. I kept the maf with the elbow the kit came with and duct taped the intake maf off. It works winderfully and added quite a bit of power compared to the old ebay intake i was running. The 07 le5 was made in january of 07 and includes the forged rods. No need to go internal, even with a tvs. 07 July and up le5 went from forged to steel rods, same as the 2.2.. If yours is 07 June and below, you have forged rods in your le5 from the factory.
Brought my ‘10 2.2 sedan to Michigan for a turbo and tune. Tune kept shutting off my car for unknown reasons. While the car was a blast for the first 4 hours of the drive home (aside from the random kills at low rpms).. the last 2 hours were horrible seeing as my downpipe and turbo separated because they weren’t torqued correctly.
@@ItsNys i would have taken the car back to them so they could fix their mistake...do you still have the car?? i have a 2.2 coupe 2010 that im getting tuned by a well known tuner in my area -Shuetunning . i also have skunkworks stage 2 cams that i will be installinng before i go tune the car
I have an 06 2.2... i was really depressed to find out there was no tuner support for that ECM. I'm half tempted to rip and replace the harness and ecm with one from an 08 just so i can play with the tuning. I want a 2.4 tb on it and i want to change shift points. Getting a different car is just not an option. This cars is only worth 2k cash and i dont have money to throw around for another car. I dont mind spending small bits here and there over time though to mod a daily driver.

@@sergeantseven4240 reply is appreciated! I do wonder if the TCM part can be skipped in a stick shift car. otherwise I think what they mean is just buy an 07+ Cobalt/Ion/HHR with the tuneable ECM versus going straight to an SS
If you have a 04-06 model, can you at the very least get a Standalone ECU for it and learn how to tune it yourself with the basic bolt ons just the same but learn how to set up base maps and fuel settings and such? Very good video btw!
@@MrJohnnyDistortion yes thanks, I had checked before and found out B&M didn't make em for my car. However, I did further searching today & found one made for my vehicle 👍🏿👍🏿
Unfortunately the entire auto industry is at a crawl right now due to shipping shortages. We do plan on restocking but we don't currently have an estimate on when that will be.
Every time i have to pass some stupid m-fker on the highway, i remember that my car was dyno tuned by zzp to get the job done. problem is, my transmission is glass after 63k miles of abuse. catches up to ya lol.
It maybe possible to do custom mapping the ecu with an oe replacement aftermarket unit, as for the original A/C Delco- GM unit, its probably locked and can't change any of the ecm mapping in it, without the GM specialized ecu programming equipment. Not 100 % certain, but seems like it could possibly work out, with the aftermarket ecu unit.
First mod you need is a new transmission, my over drive went out at 150000, still to this, even drove it like that from ga to oh, to move and still kicking till I fix it up lol, and still with it like that it still does 120 with 3 gears lol
What’s your exact exhaust setup? Like the brands and everything’s I got a 05 Ls that I built into a SS and no exhausts seem to sound good, their all high pitched and fart can sounding, looking for a deeper tone
Hey guys just want to say Trifecta Performance will tune the 2005 and 2006 2.2s if you contact them directly not a huge HP increase but they can do a little tuning
@@christopherloewen1433 Ahh, that's odd, if it's about the 2.0s (even though it's really the same block pretty much) maby they were worried about people not realizing the compression differences and tuning it like a 2.2/2.4.
Hi Averil, message us at customerservice@zzperformance.com with what kind of work you would like to have done and we can point you in the right direction!

man id love to work for zzp i oder new parts so much lol i drive a 05 cobalt ss and ive been working on it for years
First mod you need is a new transmission, my over drive went out at 150000, still to this, even drove it like that from ga to oh, to move and still kicking till I fix it up lol, and still with it like that it still does 120 with 3 gears lol
I've got 175k on my original, still kicking!
Hey are you guys in Michigan I feel like I seen that car around 😂😂
Yep! We're based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I knew it aye y’all inspired me so much I bought a 2008 Chevy cobalt going to be my daily driver until I get a new car then I’m transforming it 😂
Where did you get your tail lights and headlights?
What taillights are thoseeee
Saturn ion guy here... I might just get the exhaust. 2.2, but is a 5 speed with 245,000 mi
Wheel and tire size? those look awesome.
They are 15x7's I believe with 195/55/15 tires, they're my winter setup
Can you tune a 2.2 from a 2010
Yep! The only model years without tune support are 2005-2006 models.
I noticed you do have a front sway bar on your cobalt when you said you didn’t have one just the rear lol :)
That's actually a ZZP strut tower bar! I do have the OEM front sway bar, but you can't see that from the engine bay.
@@gbrunner24Oh, I gotcha sorry about that I don’t know what I was thinking lol you’re right it is.
nice video bro. what size rims and wheels you have on your cobalt.
Those in the video are 15" x 7", however my other wheels (bronze multi-spoke) are 18" x 7.5"
Where can I find those tail lights?!
Thank god I got a 2007..lol
Bought it about 2 months ago, only 120,000 miles on the clock.. Runs and looks brand new..
What taillights does he have on his car?they look dope with the black

Bout time
I got the zzp 2.5 exhaust. Think 2.5 is to big for the 2.2l. Should just bought a muffler of my choice an had a shop do a custom 2 1/4 exhaust
What’s your exact exhaust setup? Like the brands and everything’s I got a 05 Ls that I built into a SS and no exhausts seem to sound good, their all high pitched and fart can sounding, looking for a deeper tone
All of the exhaust parts he mentions and uses are ZZP parts. Check the video description for a full list of them and the link to our website.
@@ZZPerformanceChannel okay thank you! I love your guy’s parts! I bought a turbo kit a few months ago from you guys and plan to put it in soon!
Just curious what the decibel reading for the exhaust is because I want my cobalt to remain mostly legal because of stage regulations.
Hey guys just want to say Trifecta Performance will tune the 2005 and 2006 2.2s if you contact them directly not a huge HP increase but they can do a little tuning
Interesting! How recently did you get with them for tuning? As far as we knew they had discontinued support.
@@gbrunner24 yeah so like I said you have to contact them directly it's not on their website it cost about $300. It was last September 2020
I may have someone from Cavalier World who can(I have a post with this day stamp above for more info) I can send you his email if you're interested.
@@m.d.598 The cavaliers are supported by hp tuners so there's that option for you guys it's just the 2005 and 2006 Cobakts for some reason
@@christopherloewen1433 Ahh, that's odd, if it's about the 2.0s (even though it's really the same block pretty much) maby they were worried about people not realizing the compression differences and tuning it like a 2.2/2.4.
Which tail lights are those? Adrian taillights?
Yup Adrian's! They're quite old at this point, his design now is a little different.
Fun and game when the modded Honda comes out
I have a 2008 HHR 2.4 panel van and I want to do some custom work
Hi Averil, message us at customerservice@zzperformance.com with what kind of work you would like to have done and we can point you in the right direction!
Where did you get your cobalt tail lights from
Where can I buy those wheel covers?
Can you do a video on proper lift points for these cars? It seems like you can ask 5 people and get 7 different answers.
Where did you get the front grille?
Front grille set is LNF upper grille and 2.4 SS lower grille. I think I got them both on Partsgeek.com or eBay
@@gbrunner24 thanks a lot, ordered and put them in this week, they look great
What's another exhaust setup you would put on this lil bad boy?
A bolt on a tuned 2.2/2.4 would make for a very fun daily, if I didn't have my sonic for a daily I'd be having myself another base model cobalt, lots of ways to make them fun without spending a ton of money
Agreed. Mine is a fully built NA pushing close to 170hp. It's a fun lil daily
Where u get the tail lights

Where can I get those wheels? 🤔
Wish I could tell you, bought them off marketplace years ago, no name brand on them haha. Probably find similar ones on eBay
Where did you get your bumpers
They're just stock SS front and rear bumpers. I bought them both off of people from the Facebook pages, just gotta keep an eye out.
