Hold on. Let me help save you some money.

CA sells their V2 header on ebay much cheaper then on their site.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ecote...Q5fAccessories

Also pass on the XTC dp. They are expensive and sort of junky.

Get a ZZP dp.

http://www.zzperformance.com/cobalt_...=540&catid=155

That's what I did.




If you send ZZP your stock dp they will give you a $50 credit on your next purchase. Use it to get a dual pass endplate or something.

Oh, if it sticking out was the only problem it would be awesome, LOL.

Besides being over 8" too long:
the bends are way different than stock
The pipe hits the axle(even with shocks disconnected and springs removed)
The pipe hits the bottom of the trunk
The muffler hits the bottom of the trunk
NONE of the hangers are in the proper location(only one was even remotely close)
