It shifted it a little further up, but i feel like i got more power throughout the entire RPM range. I love this header!

looks good but you should have wiped the header down with some achoal before you started it up to make it nice and clean, but once you start it and get it hot with that oil on it you are screwed

I see that you said it shifted the powerband up a little.

Does that mean your low end took a dive or is a little less than it was?

I am almost certain I want one of these, but I value my low end.

They were both made by Cobalt addition. After CA came up with the new design (V2) they sold off their first design to Racing Solutions.

Stock?

Or any dp that bolts into the stock location. ZZP, CTI, etc.

We can't use the stock LSJ DP since it's shorter (it'll either rub or be too tight). We have to use an aftermarket...ZZP is what I would recommend, but any will work.

Are you saying it works on 05-07's without hitting a coolant line, but not the 08+ Cobalts?

theres a tab on the coolant tube, flatten it and rotate the whole pipe out of the way, use a flat head screwdriver and the then give it a good pull and it will rotaed out of the way

same thing happend to me a long time ago

Does this rerouting of the coolant line only exist in the 08+ Cobalt 2.2s?
