all the downpipes out there are 2.5", if you want one that big then I believe the ZZP one is good quality.

i can speak for the Audio XTX(Cobalt Addiction) downpipes. im there all the time. im good buddies with the owner. we work on alot of balts down there. i love there downpipes. they so make a 3" high flow cat or catless downpipe. its a good buy. it will bolt up to any exhaust or header. good for it. any questions just ask

my mistake, at any rate its a little bigger than you need

I have a full 2.5" exhaust from the header back and it really lacks power before 3.5K but then screams up top. Kinda wish I would've went 2.25 but too late to turn back now

Your options are pretty much the Pacesetter header, the GMPP Honed manifold, the ZZP Header or this one that I just found but no one really knows anything about it : http://www.clearimageautomotive.com/...obalt%20SS.htm

Hahn has a down pipe as well, but I think it might only be sold as a part of their complete system. Call them.

Definatly get a 2.5" for you 2.2 guys. Prolly doing the same on my 2.4, 2.5" C/A downpipe. the 3" ZZp was too big for a na 4 cylinder.

Okay, I'll say it...

Um, from GM?

Sorry dude, it was too easy! Seriously, you order it directly from your Chevy dealer parts counter. There are lots of on-line retailers too that can do it cheaper. Try Crate Engine Depot.
