it should but i paid for delivery 
Anyway, the car is a 2012 Buick Regal GS. 6 speed manual. The engine is the LHU which is a turbo 4cyl that puts out about 270hp/295tq. It is the newer of the LNF engine that was in the 2009 Cobalt I had. 122k miles, one owner. Guy was OCD about the car for the most part. Dealer serviced. Only gripe I had with the car was lack of timing chain replacement (common ecotec issue), water in pass tail light and small rust spot on roof. This did help with negotiation to get the price where I want it.
First mod done was a ZZP Short Ram intake so i can actually hear the turbo. You couldn't hear it at all with the stock setup.
After that I immediately got a trifecta tune to give it some more grunt which it did. The car does weigh 3800 lbs so I don't expect it to be fast.
Next mods are an OTTP Short Throw shifter, boost gauge, and a ZZP downpipe. I do need to take care of the timing chain first though! Pics to come tomorrow

dam i wanted one of these, was looking at the newer 2.0T Malibu but settled for the baby 1.5T bc we needed it for commuting and mpg. If i got the 2.0T id be modding it and beating on it plus premium fuel blahblah.

Good choice on the ceramic. Who did the work and what brand did you use?

Yeah I was debating on a malibu too. Once I found this regal couldn't pass it up. I have a downpipe, intercooler, interceptor gauges and short throw waiting to go in...
