1)hahn's parts are on the high side. But I will say I have their down pipe and it was a very nice piece. I also have the injen CP but also bought new couplers and tbolt's for it. modern performance (vendor on here) actually sells the injen CP and a "kit" with new couplers and tbolts. the stock couplers are kind of short and it comes with worm couplers :/ I would deff buy the injen pipe again though, makes the most direct route. I got my couplers and tbolts at siliconintakes though.

2) again modern performance (mpx) cat back imo is hands down the best one on the market for the cobalt lnf. Its reasonably priced at $469, is made to work on lowered cars so it doesnt hit the torsion beam and sounds fantastical.

I have Dejon's charge pipe and Hahn's intake. I agree with Northvibe on Hahn having nice pieces. I love the intake I got from them. Its made of steel so its a little heavier then the others. Dejon's charge pipes I like too. Went on real easy and they have a variety of colors to have it powdercoated or chromed. With each piece you can hear real nice air flow. With the charge pipes you really hear the air being pushed and with the intake you can hear the turbo spool up louder. Also makes your stock BPV louder too.

you will here a little louder "spooling", you dont feel any difference. Just helps the air flow more/better to the ic. The real sound is a intake. I just got a k&n sri and wow it really makes it loud and you can hear the bpv.

Don't forget that Injen only offers hotside piping while Hahn's is both hotside and coldside

twice the piping + tbolts and better couplers already included = twice the price

As far as exhausts go... Exhaust oppinions are sort of all over the place in general when it comes to tone, so it really all depends on what sort of tone you are going for and how loud/quiet you like it. I personally have a full turbo back straight pipe setup with only a 4" x 10" resonator as a "muffler" that I love the sound of.
