I have a Red Cobalt LS 4 dr, basically I'm just trying to find out different ways to up my speed any way i can, starting out as cheep as i can go, then i'll go from there after i can do all i can do going cheap. I've heard chips are useless. Thinking about a Cold Air Intake or Typhoon Short ram. Any suggestion, need help not to good all of this.

Yep, they are. No matter what ANYONE tells you it is impossable to chip a Cobalt.

Intake, exhaust, and engine mounts are the usual starting points for most people. I personally started my cav with a K&N intake and poly engine mounts. Then i bagged and supercharged it.

On J-bodies(cavys and sunfires) a $10 ebay intake with a K&N filter works just as well as a Typhoon or AEM. Also on Js there is no difference in gains between WAI or CAI. Im not certain on Cobalts.

My set-up now is just a K&N cone filter slapped on the TB, but i'll probably move it to the CAI location(in the fender behind the bumper) for clearance issues.

Im almost never on AIM anymore....

You have to pay to play. My exhaust set-up is probably gonna run near $1200, but it will be worth every penny.
