Is the cvt good in the Malibu ?

[@malibucustoms4428]

I believe my year Malibu (2017) has the automatic transmission and the 2019-2020 Malibu’s now have the CVT transmission, so I wouldn’t know how good it is or the comparison. 👍

Appreciate that bro! I definitely wanted to change the look of it. And the new exhaust pipe with resonator and muffler delete was about $150 (which depends on the shop) and the exhaust tip was $35 👍

[@justinlarue6897]

What does it sound like when you’re driving on the highway?

[@Whoiscedd]

I have a 2018 Chevy Cruze, what would you tell me to get it done on it, as a starter?

[@malibucustoms4428]

I would say get whatever you prioritize or want to build your car around. For me I started with the wheels and just built around that, in which I got the Calipers painted then the stripes, then the spoiler, and completely went for a sport car look. Then after the aesthetics I got the muffler and resonator delete for the sound to complete the sport vibes. So for me I saved up and started with the wheels cause that’s what I prioritize and wanted the most and went from there. If you’re already okay with your wheels then you can start small, with small aesthetic upgrades like a simple spoiler, caliper paint and etc. Or if you want to get straight into small performance upgrades and great sounds then you can start out with an aftermarket short ram air intake, like the K&N I have and see how you like it and then get a muffler delete for louder exhaust sound if that’s what you like 👍💪💪

I have the stock intake all custom to keep the forced induction, so its always in boost. it's still 2.5 inch straight pipe to a vibrant muffler makes it sound like it has a downpipe! sadly no one has made down pipes for these yet because its not a motor you see people build!

I didn’t get the pipes from a site, the muffler shop I went to just had some regular pipes laying around similar to the stock pipe that was already on the car, they were just bigger in diameter so I just asked them to put that on the car to replace the stock pipe for a slightly deeper sound.

how does it handle around corners

[@nanakennedy8141]

What year is this Malibu? I’m thinking about getting the RS but I might as well get this. What would you suggest?

[@malibucustoms4428]

I have a 2017 Malibu LS. The RS would be great if you want it to come stock with some of the exterior upgrades but if you want to or are going to customize everything yourself then you don’t necessarily need the RS. The premiere would be the real winner if you want the bigger engine and more horsepower but it is less budget friendly than the LS, LT and even RS versions. So personally if I was able to get the premiere then I would get that but if I wanted to save money and didn’t care for the bigger 2.0 L engine then I would just save money and stick with LS or LT versions and customize it to my liking. This is just my opinion 👍💪

[@jl-heatfan4life717]

I have a 2020 malibu ls 1.0L, if i do a straight pipe will it be loud like yours? If it can be done just wondering

[@malibucustoms4428]

If I’m not mistaken all trim levels of the Malibu for this generation has a 1.5L engine besides the premiere trim, I also have a 1.5L the main difference between my 2017 1.5L and yours I think would be the different transmissions, so I don’t believe that would effect the sound to be totally different, so yes if you were to get exactly what I have then it should sound the same 👍

[@matthewandes6763]

i mean the shop will probably offer to buy it for you but in my opinion you should buy it yourself and ask them to attach it for you.. they’ll probably try pulling some bs since you’re young.. and since you’re young you should probably do what he did.. ask them to remove your resonator and muffler.. then ask them to attach the exhaust tip you purchased.. this really shouldn’t be a wallet breaking job so ask around if you’re uncomfortable with what they tell you it’s gonna cost

[@malibucustoms4428]

Hey bro and I had the same questions. For the sound I just took it to a local Muffler Shop and asked for a “resonator and muffler delete” which is them simply removing your muffler and Resonator since it’s constricting the sound. The shop also gave me a bigger exhaust pipe, the stock pipe I believe was 2.25 inches and they replaced that with a 2.75 inch pipe and that’s how I got that sound 👍. And the wheels are “Asanti ABL-12” and the size is 20 by 8.5 inches. Hope that helps 💪

[@pbscars6320]

Would you recommend getting the RS for appearance or the Premier for the 2.0? I wish they made the RS with the 2.0 cause the RS looks the best but it’s not as fast as the luxury trim

[@malibucustoms4428]

Hey bro, and personally just my opinion I would go with the premiere because you can always upgrade the appearance to be similar or even a lot better than the RS without breaking the bank. The bigger engine in the 2.0 would be something that you wouldn’t be able to duplicate cheaply or at all with the RS (Considering you got the same modifications for both). So if you were able to choose between the two, I would go with the premiere 👍

Definitely but if you would want the exhaust tips to fit perfectly and stick out correctly you may have to cut into the rear bumper a little bit because of the way it is set up. I would recommend getting an aftermarket rear bumper instead but I don’t see any available or made at the moment, but if I do you’ll know about it 💪💪
