Well their cat back is a 3" but it has a small 2.5" section at the beginning. With that being the case, I would assume the DP will have a 2.5" exit.

Here is the pic as stated. Thanks for posting above.

Furthermore, we can do a GB on it. Let's get a head count!!

Wow, that's barely a 4-2-1 header. The secondaries are real short. It is also going to throw a CEL since the cat is behind the second O2 sensor. Why can't anyone just design a 4-2-1 header the right way. It's not like this is a complicated task! Grrr....... i was really pulling for this header too. Damn it!

Good point on the second O2. I didn't notice that.

do you know if this would work with your 2.75" cat-back? If it can I'll be on the group buy list.:cssNET:

I take it that this header is too long to bolt up in the factory location for the downpipe?? This means we can't just buy the header to use with other OE length downpipes. I want a header with a 2.5" collector that mounts to the OE downpipe is of great quality and can be ordered with double ceramic coating.

im beginning to think that no one like making parts for the cobalt as a great amount of them have some sort of flaw in their design.

Well I dont know much I was just going by what the other guy said with what was wrong with it. And also CTI's downpipe and header is also over 700 so i dont think the price is bad either.

I have to admit, if I had the loot, I would order one with or without the GP. Even though it would be better with the GP..lol

I'd order one if i cold figure out if it can bolt up to my exhaust or not.

They say that it will bolt right up to the stock exhaust as well as their Vibrant cat-back. From what I gather, after the cat it reduces to 2.5" which would mate right up to stock and they prob have a 3" adapter to mate it to the Vibrant cat-back..
Worst case scenario, you may have to take it to a shop and have a custom adapter put on.

Hmmm, I didnt think of having a shop do that, good idea(I hate not doing everthing myself though). Now i dont need a whole new cat back just to have more than one choice in downpipes lol.

The vibrant cat back has a 2.5" flange on it so no adapter would be needed.

1gmfanatik, I'm not trying to hate or find problems with new products. I was simply stating the obvious. As I'm sure you know our cars are OBD-2. That means we require two O2 sensors in the exhaust, one before the cat-converter and one after. This is so the car senses the cat is doing it's job and allows the car to run optimally. Unless you have HPTuners to shut off the second O2 sensor, this header/downpipe will throw a CEL since the cat is behind both O2 sensors. The only way to prevent the CEL other than using HPTuners is to use a O2 sensor extension piece Vibrant sells. That to me is ghetto rigging, and it isn't happening on my car especially for $750 bucks out of my pocket! Look at any quality 4-2-1 header, and you'll see what I mean.

^^^:lol: My warranty is GONE! That product simply won't do it for me. The CTI header is looking to be the best one on the market at the moment to me.

My chevy dealership here in Phoenix installs the Vibrant Performance Header ($990 installed) and it won't effect my warranty at all.

They are on back order until december, but I will let you guys know how it matches up and runs with the Vibrant Exhaust (which I like a lot :twothumbs )

why in thehell would you start a group buy when cobalt performance parts is already working on one? wtf is the point of two group buys when if everyone orders from one place you get a better deal?

Its vendor wars man.

Guys this is the vendors forum. It's there little chunk of the forum to do business with us.

As with classified ad's side busting is NOT permitted. That means unless you have questions about the product or of the seller DON'T post it's that simple.

This also includes other vendors.
