I'm pretty sure this has been beaten to death but I wasn't satisfied with my finds on the site. So im going streight with my question. I want to go with a 2.5" system and want good quality for a good price. None of that raspy **** I want a nice low growl. I was thinking Vibrant Header/DP with borla. BTW: I have a 06 Cobalt SS/SC with 38K ANY Suggestions?

 

get a v8

 

^^except that he asked for a header/dp/catback combo.. reading<you obviously

 

-_-; Help...

 

he also said that he wants a nice low growl and none of that raspy ****. Fact is that if you have full exhaust on a cobalt its gonna be loud and raspy. I've heard the vibrant, hahn, corsa, magnaflow all in person, ****, even i have a flowmaster. no matter what you're never gonna get the sound you want out of a cobalt. So you might as well go for the best performance. for a 2.5 i would say ZZp midlength header and DP, with any 2.5" cat back. dont even waste your time with a shorty header.

 

just go to youtude and search for different sound clips. i think myspace (WTF) might have some too

 

nope i had a ca header dp and gmpp touring exhaust and i couldnt get any rasp out of it at all.. id say if you want no rasp go with the gmpp and get the zzp header/dp combo.. you could get everything shipped to your door for ~$1000

 

Who is CA? Hurd bad things about ZZP.

 

cobalt addiction.. zzperformance is your best bet though.. CA takes forever to ship anything.. im done buying anything form them

 

What are your experiances with the ZZP H/DP combo?

 

there is no bad things about zzp. dont go with cobalt addiction. id go with either hahn or vibrant cat back.

 

idk, i just ordered mine from their group buy your a week to late, i got my midlength header and downpipe with magnaflow high flow cat shipped for 315$

 

i can tell you Stryder on here picked up about 10 horse just going from his CA shorty to the ZZP midlength combo. dyno proven

 

my setup is soon to be zzp combo with either vibrant or corsa catback

 

just a warning. its gonna be raspy as hell with a corsa. colejjones had that exact same set up for a short time until he went with a hahn catback instead

 

Right now I stand at ZZP combo with highflow cat and borla exhaust.

 

you wont go wrong with the ZZP midlength combo. not sure how the borla sounds

 

For what I want with the zzp im looking at only 20 dollars cheaper than the vibrant combo. Is the stainless steel option worth it on the zzp combo?

 

vibrant header and dp combo best quality. Dont get 3" thought unless your pushing serious hp

 

get the zzp

 

I'm just looking at stage 2 kit with 2.8" and cobra heat exchanger for performance wise. Would 2.5" be good and if I go with ZZP is the option to add stainless steel worth the money?

 

loooove my setup

CA v1 header + XTC 2.5" de-cat downpipe + ARK N2 cat-back

 

dude the vibrant header/dp with the hahn 3 in exhaust, raven ss has this and it is nasty sounding

 

hows the weather in kentucky? i would probably go stainless if your car sees any kind of weather. and yes 2.5 is good

yeah and he also has a lot more done to his car to make it sound nasty.

 

Going with the vibrant header/dp combo and im still lost in the sauce on the cat-back system. But know im going 2.5". Anyone know any shop online that does custom piping into borla muffler?
