Jbp header and an slp catback. Had an aftermarket downpipe on it but it was way too loud. Love the way it sounds now.

I'm running an ark performance Grip N-ll. But any cat back for a cobalt NA SS (NA or SC) will work. Only one that won't is a SS/TC cat back.

Badmap shorty header and a catted downpipe.

Yes any catback will work. Just get a 2.5" no need for a 3" unless you plan on adding a lot of power very soon.
The badmab is a good header the price. There's better out there but its good for the price.

If any catback exhaust will work wether it's made for a sc or na, how about will a 2 door exhaust fit a 4 door ss/na?

yes it doesn't matter if its 2 door or 4 door. Also doesn't matter if its sc or na.

I had the gmpp catback when I was na and loved the sound. Went sc and added a 3inch to 2.5inch dp and badmab header and it sounded really good. Just recently switched to zzps 2.5 inch exhaust and it sounds good too

It should be said though that the lnf catback won't directly fit. The flange for the downpipe is different. So it would need a different flange welded on if someone wanted to use a whole catback. Swapping the mufflers will help very little though as one of the big exhaust restrictions will still exist at the over the axle pipe. Honestly if your broke look in the for sale section. If you have money then buy a new exhaust.
