You should do it yourself. It is not that hard.

If you lived near me I would do it for free. I like teaching what I know to others because like you in the past I also needed help. Any cobalt guys in your area willing to help you?

Learn to do it yourself. It will turn out the same plus it will give you more pide in you car. Check how tos that may help. What kind of header do you have?

Hey man what brand header is it? I have a pacesetter and i need to install mine as well. Pretty confident that i can do it but problem is i dont have a place to install it. Plus you either have to buy a downpipe or get one made for you.

there's no need to pay a professional to unscrew 5 bolts, and then retighten 5 bolts. try it yourself with someone else if you think you can't do it alone

^^Yup, you can just bolt on the GMPP manifold without needing to replace the dp.

I wish that I had done the header install myself; I ended up paying way to much. However, I really wanted it on before the CT dyno day, so I payed to have it done because Vibrant was so slow that I got the header a day or two before the dyno.

I just did mine Saturday. Took me 5 hours, wasn't very fun. But if I had to do it again I could probably get it done in 3.
I called every shop in town here in AZ and NOONE would touch a header install.

I got it done though... F**K everyone that says "how hard can it be?" Thats what they all told me... I am an A&P certified aircraft mechanic and I graduated my school in the top 3%...my answer: It can be pretty ******* hard!!! LOL
