Should I get the Hahn CP?

I'm looking at the next thing to purchase for my 09 Chevy Cobalt SS/TC. I just purchase a Hahn CoolRAM Intake and trying to decide on the CP next. Does anyone know if the Hahn coldside CP is a problem for fitment for the GMS1 TMAP sensor or had any issues with the coldside?

thats 550$ too much lol + good couplers and crap = 600 with shipping
you dont need the cold side.
buy the dejon hot side or injen. and with the other 300$ buy yourself hahn intake.

just seeing if its worth it without money being an object, I thought about the Dejon, but don't think I'm going to hassle witht the external bov. Injen seems okay, but don't like it cutting across. so...?

Dejon makes the kit without the bov that's just an option.

Their cp is my favorite that I've had and seen

my cold side is very tight, especially now with the ottp rotated mounts, its actually touchs the fan plastic. I could not get it back out now with taking the ottp mounts back out first

but otherwise no issues

Injen charge pipping plus new silicone (longer) couplers and tclamps ftw! and its still cheaper than anyone else. It also is the shortest pipping; taking the shortest distance to the ic.

CIA performance CP is the shortest route as well. Comes with t-bolts as well and you can order hot side only too.

I've seen both, the difference is so minimal it doesn't affect anything specifically. my one buddy has injen and I have cia.

Injen's CP rises further than cia's from the top of the turbo. the bend from the turbo to the valve cover is sharper than cia's.

ZZP's or OTTPs both are great charge pipes and have excellent fitment.

You can still change the oil with the piping on. You may need to remove the bolt that keeps the injen piping attached to the engine itself (CIA doesn't have that bracket). You'll find yourself doing 1/4 turns with it on instead of 1/3 turns with the stock cp on. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't find a shallow 32mm socket (I'm stuck with the deep one).

CIA's CP came with t-bolts at no extra "cost"!

^ yeah, but if you want to keep the stock CP still intact then you have to go other routes since you need to cut the rubber surrounding off the stock CP.

Yeah, I'm finally might be more convinced to go with the Injen CP because my buddy has one, plus I think it flows way better for the price. I hate being a perfectionists . My mind was like "Go with all Hahn or you will look half ass in front of everybody". LOL

I have Hahn intake, CIA charge pipes and CIA downpipe. I'm by no means a specific brand supporter. I got for what's the best price for the best engineered product.

I just purchased the Injen CP after evading it the whole time. So got the Hahn CAI coming and now the Injen CP. If I want to replace the coldside I do that with OTTP. My next purchase is probably going to be ZZP's downpipe. Thank you guys for your input. Has anybody heard anything good about Denso Plantium TwinTip Spark plugs?

I would recommend silicone couplers and tbolt clamps for that injen though; I got mind from siliconeintakes.com. I have pics...some where....

IDK , ALOT of people are running CIA's CP and loving the results. Injen looks as if sorta of the same flow, but don't know for sure.

So the new couplers are much longer so you can get a real good connection between the pipes. If i was to buy them again I'd get a injen again and new couplers. great deal and most direct route.

Have you tested against the CIA CP's?
