I'm curious to know about the exhaust note. I also wonder about the sound of the engine. Does it sound like a fine tuned machine with that high priced exotic car sound... or is it really quiet and could be a sleeper if not for the badges and different look.

It does not sound like a finally tuned machine or a sports car. I have not been next to a standard HHR, but I would say it is pretty quiet.

In my opinion yes, not loud. I have a magnaflow on my Avalanche and it made a huge difference.

I think it's more like the gov't has mandated more gadgets on cheaper cars, and the manufacturers are fighting with suppliers to get the parts at a reasonable price point.

Very true Tire pressure sensors are not a new gadget. My Crossfire had them and they worked fine.
