Hello, I need help on chosing a header for my cobalt. I have a DC Sports Exhaust 2.5 inch piping 4' tip. DC sports has the best sounding exhaust IMO because it has no rasp what so ever. I did have the Megan Drift Spec but it sounded like bumble bees being shaked in a can. So I did my research and found that DC sports makes a Short 4-1 and a Long 4-1 header but not sure if its something to go with also I seen:

-Pacesetter headers Mid length and Long
-ZZP Headers
-DC Sports 4-1

I only found those few: Please help me on which is best to go with on a cobalt 2.2 a Shorty or a Long tube and which SOUNDS THE BEST with the DC SPORTS EXHAUST

-Thanks

zzp for best gains badmab for best sound

 

A badmab will be the best price option, good gains, fits nice. Having changed a header and not a cat pipe, I strongly recommend you change that also. I felt the same if not more gain from going to an lsj cat pipe.
That said, save your money and buy a zzp longtube, best option, hands down greatest thing I did to the car.

 

^ wouldnt a ZZP Longtube be good if you are winding the car out?

its always been my knowledge that a good midlegth is better for street driving than a LTH.

 

LS6 I would agree with you but if he's only doing simple stuff like an intake an exhaust I wouldn't see how it would make that much of a difference.

 

Well I narrowed it down I just got done listening to the Vibrant header that comes with a downpipe and I really like that but the badmab sounds good to and zzp is alright I only like the zzp downpipe so far. Any suggestions on the VIBRANT or atleast the DC SPORT HEADER???
