how is it that the first version on the cobalt addiction header doesnt fit the 2.2 yet fits the 2.4 and2.0, when we all have the same exhaust set-up? all our exhaust are interchangeable, i wanted to see if anobody had any problems with it, cuz i am gunna get the v1 header and the 2.5" dp they have

WhiteSSBalt

I thought it fit the 2.2?

I have the v1 CA header and their 2.5" de-cat downpipe, and they both fit my 2.4SS like a charm. Don't see why it'd be any different for your 2.2 honestly.

the v1 didnt fit my 2.0 it hit the coolant line

BLKLS

i got one on my 2.2 didn't have any issues putting it on, so.....

I believe it was said to rub against the hard coolant line on the back of the block?

WhiteSSBalt

I haven't had any issues with my header rubbing against my coolant line on my 2.4.

vs1 hits up against a coolant line..u have to move it a little bit so it fits properly...vs2 should be out soon..they just needed a 2.2 to test on..so it fits without any modification., v2 should be out soon

ok so the coolant line hits it, ok, thats it, and the sai is a obvious one, but i dont have it so hah, well i dont mind adjustin that line, or what ever, ima get it, hey whitessbalt hw'd u, wait SS thats righ you can tune, n/m, well im getting the 2.5 catless dp and the v1 header, im also gunna do the mechanically o2 simulator mods to the dp

YSUsteven

Well, a header gets hot, and when the engine torques on its mounts, its gona rub the hose. After a while it will melt / make a hole and you will overheat the engine from having no coolant.

It might also be diffcult adjusting a line when thats where it comes out of the engine, unless you can bend the port on the block.

pacific cobalt

He's right
The line is welded to the block and difficult to move. You might be better off gettting the V2 Header when it comes out or get the DC sports Header at least those are bolt-on for the 2.2 without any modifications needed

iLLmaTic3s

yeah its hard to move..but some 2.2. owners have already moved it and are running the header..but for the money i wud wait till v2 comes out..but only thing ur gonna get better hp gain with vs1 vs 2...due to the bigger collector...v2 is really meant for the ss/sc as kenny and i talked about for my car.

I wouldnt go catless you wont pass inspection. Also they sound like crap get the one with the high flow cat

WhiteSSBalt

Not true. I have a catless dp, and I absolutely love the way my car sounds.

Well people have different opinions thats just mine. I heard a kid where i live with a catless and it sounded like crap like a honda civic with a cat delete and a 4.5 inch fartcan

i have no problem with inspection, when you know the right people with the right licenses, it dont matter, and i have a way to get the check engine light not to come up , so that line is welded hu? well f that, i'll just the pacesetter than

pacific cobalt

Pacesetter and DC sports are the same company
If you get the pacesetter you have to take your car to a muffler shop then cut and weld the long tube Header to your downpipe. Unless you get the catless downpipe offered by pacesetter for a few bucks more
The DC sports Header bolts up to your downpipe and costs $370
Pacesetter is $290 so choose carefully

I DONT HAVE TO GO TO A EXHAUST SHOP, oh **** sorry bout the caps, just noticed, well i have all the tools a shop has at home in my garage, i have a compressor, impacts, rachet sockets, welder, only thing i need is a paint room and a car lift, lol, but im thinking of gettin the pacesetter, than just welding it to the CA downpipe, only thing is that the flex pipe they have is to close to the flange i have to cut and re-weld, hmmm
