Who told u it will increase performance? And u bought the wrong exhaust...unless u like it on one side...u should have asked the members!

I think it does look better than stock. I don't know about performance, but I am sure it sounds better.

[tlsmania]

Looks very sharp. Why buy what everyone else thinks you should purchase? You made the right choice for you.

cheers!

this description is from Borla, found at car-stuff catalog.com,it's for a 2007 Saturn Sky and should apply to a 2008 Saturn Sky as well.
I posted the pictures to show what it looks like on my 2.4,and for those that can't read my poor description of what the exhaust looks like.
who says,besides you that I bought the wrong one? this cat back exhaust sounds great too!
I bought the correct exhaust for my car,2.4 Have somebody read to you the underlined part,that is where I got the idea of increased performance.
I didn't ask anybody at this forum when I bought my car either.how about that! probably got that wrong too.
and even I
(poor speller that I am) know it's not spelled "u" it's spelled you.

i did qualify my response to you...there is a reason why those who changed their mufflers went with the dual quads.

And what would that reason be?
Because you thought that would be what they want? Or maybe they wanted to spend at least another $225.76 for a different rear valance(with two openings) and about the same amount difference in price for a single 2.4 Vrs dual for the turbo.I asked at the dealer.
to have the dual quads. I would expect it would be more expensive than the single(only one side W/dual tips).
what are dual quads? your words.

I am fairly new to this forum, and I can tell you from reading alot of posts that some people know what is best for the Sky and whatever you do will be the wrong way to do it. Your exhaust looks great and I hope you enjoy it.

"butter" you did fine. Like all of us, you bought a Kappa car! Welcome to the club!!

Some will drive it stock and not change one thing .. that is fine .. it is their car. Other's will change small things and other's ... won't stop with the exhaust or intercooler .. they keep going and even toss out the motor.
These guys are real car 'mod' folks .. they are not bashers but enjoy educating and sharing their knowledge. They respond to our naive questions, choices and statements with respect.

Some members however, feel the need to come back on the forum and tell the rest of us we are wrong .. and that we have choosen the wrong Kappa vehicle, model, color car, antenna size or exhaust style? They actually feel they are doing us a favor to share their preferences as if it is the only smart intelligent one. Much has to do with their style of delivery! If they explained why they prefered something ... instead of being condescending .. we actual might learn something and possibly even agree.

Exhaust choices come down to mainly what style, sound and what other mods you have (or plan to get) to increase the power level ... and of course, what you can afford. As an example .. exhaust tone will be different with different manufactures (different engineering designs) and even varies with different model exhaust they sell. Therefore, for most members it is a sound prefence, cost factor and appearance pleasing decision.

Bottom line ... you are paying for that car ... enjoy it and I hope to meet you on some future cruise!

dual exhaust is a choice, i may do duals one day, but single exhaust is PLENTY for a 4 cyl, and YES it will increase performance because its a catback exhaust

[marlboromike]

Read my post...it was qualified.

Niceeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

I DON'T THINK SO! all the exhausts r catbacks...the exhaust that he installed is the same size of the OEM...the 2 outlets r the same size of the OEM. The air flow is the same. Even adding the dual outlets to a 2.4 is a bleep on the richter scale...and just for the hell of it...remember when u bought your car, it stated 177 HP...now it is 172...it is so easy to make numbers with the same engine.

[cerberus]

Aftermarket exhaust offerings do offer some performance improvement, but I'd consider them for the look and sound. They're less restrictive than OEM, which is more of a factor if you're looking for subsequent F/I mods. IIRC the dual costs a touch of performance increase. Overall from what we've dynoed to date, typically one can expect a 2-4 whp increase on a 2.4, although some exhausts such as RPi's GT system added nice chunk of torque.

so putting on a universal muffler is a cat back... yeah didn't think so... its not gonna be a big improvement, but hey it sounds nicer and the air WILL flow more... i personally prefer single outputs for four cyls, on a 6 maybe a dual, on a 8 definitly okay

[marlboromike]

the muffler tips r for appearance only...forget performance. The dual tips just balance the rear end. I have one of those universal mufflers...a camaro with dual outlets..but as u realize magnaflow and borla came out with the catbacks after months of the SKY being out there...i had to piece meal ...but even with the dual outlets, there is no real performance gain...performance comes from the engine and the driver.
