Header and ehxaust?
Im brand new to the Cobalt world, matter of fact this is my first 4 cylinder car, I have to say is f*cking fun to drive, but is too quiet, is the 2007 SS supercharged model, I am looking into getting a new header and full exhaust, what would you guys recomend?
In that note what would be a good cold air intake for it??

Personally i think the best intake is a Injen CAI, it will give you abit of power increase (doubt u will feel it though) and it will bring the whine of the supercharger alive.
As for exhaust, i havent heard to many systems i like. I had a CIA Header 3" downpipe w/ hi-flow cat and 3 inch magnaflow exhaust, that was loud and ******* annoying. That being said, with a 2.5" downpipe and 2.5" exhaust, it might sound abit better.

zzp long tube header, zzp dp, custom 2.5 inch cat back or 3 inch depending on your goals
any 3 inch intake will make you smile, i personally had the fujita but now are more brands.

I had a 2.5" catted DP and GMPP touring exhaust and loved it .... problem is GMPP is a 2.25" exhaust ..... it showed a 12hp gain on the dyno over stock IIRC but would be restrictive if you go much farther than GM StageII .
My first choice would be a Corsa Touring catback ....pricey but worth it IMHO . If you can't do both at the same time , the downpipe is the biggest restriction in the stock exhaust system.

Id like to ask a few questions about your setup
1: Are you catted? Im guessing yes, since it's "Cat-back"
2: How does it sound? Ive been looking at getting an
exhaust on my cobalt for a year, and I think I want to go with ZZP Header,
I figure, if I have a ZZP 2.85" Pulely, a ZZP Intake, and I throw on a ZZP
Header, then ZZP should be able to hook me up with a great tune for it all.
Much better then Intense, since im sure they are probably most qualified
to tune for stuff that they sell.

I would suggest the following:
Hahn Shorty Header Chevy Cobalt 2.0L SS/SC
Hahn Max Flow Downpipe/Cat Chevy
Hahn 3” Cat-Back Exhaust System Chevy Cobalt 2.0L SS/SC 2005-07 Aftermarket Downpipe
It's pricey but well worth the money as far as quality and sound. Much better than any other setup I've heard or tried personally. Besides, all Hahn's Racecraft product right now is 10% off. I always buy my parts from Turbo Tech Racing so I recommend you buy from them. They always seem to have the best prices and good customer service. Just my opinion though

I'm not going to say what you should get, because everyone has their own opinions for what the best exhaust setup is.
Here's mine....
Badmab 4-1 Shorty Header (1.71" primaries, 3" collector)
Random Technology 3" to 2.75" catless downpipe
Corsa Touring 2.5" catback
My downpipe & catback were expensive, but it was all worth it.
I currently run an Injen cold air intake w/ Amsoil EA Nanofiber filter. I've tested many different intakes, and they all provided about the same gain (airbox mod - 3" intakes). Some fit better than others, but this will all come down to personal preference as well.
