I have Vibrant header and dp with my gm touring catback...i like it. You will notice a difference with that combo. Its not the cheapest though.
Edit: Must add i get a CEL though, no limp mode just a CEL. I am hopeing to take care of that soon. Its nothing to worry about.

I am running a Hahn unit hooked up to a Random Technologies downpipe flowing out the GMPP exhaust. No cels and good results.

haha damn, to many choices, not enough cars. cels arent gonna worry me, i can lear that with the Tech 2. Now, how many of you have to pass emissions? Some county's here in PA dont need it, but the one i live in does. booo.

and why do i not see any options for the 2.2L on any of their sites? Are they not there or am I just being blind again?

Just went onto ZZP's site and they have the midlenght header/downpipe combo. I think that that would go great with the GMPP sport exhaust.

Wonder what the butt dyno would say when I get the whole exhaust system bolted on in one shot? haha

For me the "butt dyno" said their wasnt much (if any) difference with just the cat back, but there was a noticeable difference when i put on my vibrant header and dp a week later.

Hey Moes does that Weapon R header give you quite a bit of low end torque like it claims ?
