good idea or NO?

I'm looking for a good bang for the buck and think I ran arcoss a good deal, I want to get a little noise, and a little power but without going to a loud muffler, and I also dont want to though a cel light. does anyone have or know of any 2.2l that are using this header? thanks for the help

Here is the Link!

I do not suggest that Header, spend a little more and get a better one. That one will prolly rust and is most likely poorly made. It might through a code as well.

LOL:
Documented 12-14 rear wheel horsepower gain on an otherwise un-modified engine

It must give power to are rear wheels as well. AWD?!?

Exactly
2.8" is a too big collector for a N/a 2.2L. cobalt but it's good for the 2.0L. supercharged

maybe I'm going the worng way should I go header or CAI first? the car is all stock now. OR then where is a good header that I can run with my stock exhaust? without to much trouble


If you look down the page a little more you see the cobalt addiciton one for $270 and its the same photo? $100 more?? idk?

if you get a light, just delete it, or check what the light is and take care of it. it's not really a big deal, there's no reason to be concerned about it. if you mod your cobalt at some point you will probably have an engine light come on. but that doesn't mean it's something to worry about, or that your car is going to blow up.

get a full exhaust (if you can afford) it can be rather cheap, like 650-700 if you go with low cost stuff

the first thing i did was put a ca v1 header on the car. FANTASTIC idea, it was one of the best things i did, got it cheep i thought it was a waste till i did it. car drove alot better.

second thing was a ingen intake. the car was louder but not as loud as an exhaust. if you put everything in right don't sweet the light.

that thing looks alot like the ca header i have, a three inch colector is alot for a 2.2 tho
don't let people tell you you have to get a cat back first. a header WILL make a diff with stock exhaust, just not as much as with an after market one.

I called cobalt add. just to make shur that the new v2 header only came in 3in, and he told me that it should not matter if its 3in or not becuz its still going to blot up to the stock exhaust. so why do you guys say that 3in is to much for the 2.2L I could see it being to much if I was doing a 3in FULL exhaust, but just a 3in collector shold be fine right???? cuz i shur dont know
