Cobalt SS is a big piece of shiet!!!!! LOL You should walk from it easily if its stock.. modded it depends how modded it is... But I dont think you should have a problem..
tell him il take his punk a** and show him what japanese cars does to some american half a** muscle
that took me a couple of minutes to find...but good luck on your build and i think side exits would look nice on the g. but to make it look good its gonna cost some money...maybe its not worth it

Where are you going to put the mufflers or are you hoping that doing some FI will quiet the car? Turbos may reduce the engine note minutely but cutting several ft of piping out and the mufflers negate that. This is assuming you leave the cats in place. Remove them w/a turbo setup and you'll get sweet F&F fireballs as well as emissions tickets and the need for a hearing aid by 30. S/C's don't help the noise thing either. You may as well strip the car of soundproofing to shave a few lbs at that point since the exhaust is all you'll ever hear.
Having a side exhaust for the sake of a side exhaust is a bit useless don't you think? Besides the obvious noise issues, it doesn't help performance nor would it integrate well unless you have some type of side skirt/exhaust finisher to go with it. Otherwise you have get the highly envied look of a clapped out pickup truck w/ broken exhaust hangers. There's a practical reason why no cars come w/ side exhaust outside of the Viper and even it has convoluted crossover pipes to handle the short exhaust noise issues.
If you want to make sure people know you're a true racing badass, why not just do the top fuel thing, buy some v-shaped pipes and make them come out the fender. The exhaust shop shouldn't have a hard time hooking you up there. Cut a hole to mount a Stillen S/C and you've got yourself a bona fide hotrod at quadruple the cost of just buying a Mustang in the first place.
There's simply no point in making a 3500lb GT luxury coupe into a loud, unrefined boy racer the Cobalt aspired to be. If you want an flamingly fruity, everyone look at me POS, go back to the Cobalt. You're lopping 5-7k off your resale value the second you do that to your G. At least w/ the Cobalt you know it's worth nothing before you start. You may be the first to go out the side...but you'll also likely be the last since none of the other members here dare touch your style.

My question is tho has anyone heard of/seen any g35 coupes with side exit exhaust?imma be going FI maybe a month or so after i get it along with wheels/lowering springs/full body kit.I had a supercharged cobalt as my last car.I put side exit on it and loved the way it looked/sounded.so does anyone know how it looks/sounds on a g35?i will prob mold it into my side skirt but just need some opinions.I DONT need any "thats gay" or "thats so ricerish"..just some positive feedback please.
