Hey everyone, hopefully some will reply.
My name is Josh, I am 17, and recently bought a 2011 Malibu LT in Black Granite, and yes I make payments on the car myself, I am not a spoiled young kind against any stigma that may be made against someone who is as young as me and owning a car. I love the car and I could not be any more happy with it, although I am still breaking it in and am going really easy on it. I am really ignorant to this site as of now and need to learn better how to navigate to creating my own thread as I have my own questions. I will ask my first question in the new member introduction because I am anxious to find out how to make my own general thread. I want to put a one in and two out muffler on my LT an do duals out the back, of course it is a 4 cylinder. I found a valence for a 2009 LTZ with duals and is only 30 some odd dollars on partsgeek.com however I dont know if a 2009 valence will fit but that price is better to others I have found. Also Im not sure if partsgeek is a SH&%$# Website. My questions is will a 2009 valence fit? I believe the body styles between 09 and 11 are the same so it shouldn't matter. This would save me about 70 dollars compared to other sites with the dual valence. I dont want it to be raspy, just something alittle less restrictive, also will this hurt the gas mileage/ I dont want to mess up the back pressure but I figure if I used something still medium in the restriction category it won't mess up restriction too bad.
Thanks,
Josh

Welcome to CMF, newbie! There's plenty of people on CMF who can help you out with valance part and anything else!! IMO I think that valance will work out just fine on your new Malibu!!

Pics please! (gotta to see what's your Malibu looks like!)

Hope you will keep on payments on Malibu and I assure you kid... Malibu is awesome! I have my old and first Malibu when I was 17... LOVED IT! Make sure you keep that new Malibu of yours, kid!

Well, arizen13 is right. The valance from 2008 to 2011 is interchangeable. Check out your other thread for the rest of the answers.

Good to see that you're working hard to make your way. Even if you had bought a used car and come here we'd still be proud of you! It's your attitude, not your car, that makes you who you are.

Head over to User CP and you can make a sig for yourself.

Cool, thats good to know that the 2009 valence I was looking at is interchangeable with the twenty eleven. Do you know if partsgeek.com is a reliable site though, I have not done a check on them yet.

Thanks for great welcome, I feel appreciated. Believe me when I say this work as hard as they come, no lie. Been working at McDonalds since I was 15, now 17, training to be a manager, work two jobs in the summer, plus a side job cutting grass and I am a post secondary student getting my college classes paid for while in high school. I am usually very busy I will have to find time to really surf around this site and figure out how to make a sig and upload pics, I really need to.

This is actually my second car, bough a 97' LeSabre right when I turned 16 and paid cash, but my grandpa offered me 3000 gm card points owner loyalty was out there because of my father and other rebates and discounts so I could not pass it up, plus I put a good amt down, so i feel really good about this car, no complaints.
Thanks

Yup Im a newbie, can't do much about that until some other newbie joins ha!
Thanks for your input, other people have told me that the part will work so I feel assured.

As I told driven daily (i.e.) I'm very busy with post secondary college classes (full time) and I work full time during the school year, and 55 plus in the summer. I will definitely keep on paying on that guy...I put a decent amt down so my payments are definitely affordable, will never miss one.

I will work on the pictures I have them on my computer but need to find out how to upload them or place on under my user name, and eventually a sig. Where do you add them to your profile?

BTW your Malibu is sweet, good to see a completely custom older generation, looks great. Thats cool you bought a malibu when you were 17 too, I guess that why we are on this forum, because we all have something in common, ownership of a malibu lol.
Later
