Ok so I just recently bought a 2009 pontiac g5 GT (2dr cobalt rebadged). It's a good daily commuter, but it do be boring in the low end and dies off extremely quickly after second gear (manual). Anyways looking to get a little more power out of it, it's a daily and going to remain a daily so I am not looking to throw a shit ton of money at it, do internals, etc.

I know you're gonna yell "cold air intake" and "exhuast" listen here buddy, I am not a honda owner, my car can't be loud and slow. All jokes aside though I don't mind after market exhaust if it sounds good but also I know good exhausts aren't cheap regardless of the car/engine.
