I was thinking about getting this piece for my 2.4 G5 GT i was just curious if anyone else has gotten this piece and if so whether or not they think its wroth the money. thanks a lot

 

get the ca v1...and xtc 2.5" dp.. u wont b sorry

 

aight thanks. im looking for that header right now and i can only fidn the V2 stainless steel and id rather save $100 and skip the stainless steel. and help would be appreciated thanks.

 

the v1 is right above the v2 on their page.. are they not selling it or something?

 

ive got the gmpp manifold and the 2.5 xtc downpipe. No complaints at all. Just make sure u replace your dp!!

 

yea im not sure. i dont see it hah

 

if you want to keep your warranty, go with GMPP
(btw, theres already a bunch of threads on this)

and put the S/C downpipe (2.5'')... it's a GM part, it will cost u less if u get a used one and they won't tell the difference when they get under the car at ur dealership

 

Also keep in mind that the warrany on the GMPP is only one year. If you have a problem with it a year after you have installed, it will not be covered on the normal warrany.

 

I thought the 2.4's shared the same downpipe as the ss/sc?

 

no they don't
same manifold, but different dp
the stock 2.4 dp is freakin small.... not as much as the 2.2 is though

 

No ****, Had my car a year now and I didn't even know this. So the SS/SC DP is 2.5" the whole way? With a CAT?

 

yes

 

Well taht solves my DP choice... maybe. unless I can find something that is more beneficial for the car.

 

can any one post hard proof the DP are dif, such as part numbers,

the SS/SC down pipe might be a good mod if indded its better flowing then the stock ss/na one

 

Ya but who ever has problems with a exhaust manifold breaking lol???

 

I just saw in another thread that the DP on the SS/SC is the same as the DP on the '06 & '07 LE5's....

 

I thought the same thing but just researched this:

Downpipe/cat assy:

07 LSJ PN 15873413
07 LE5 PN 22695582 (manual trans)
07 LE5 PN 22703215 (auto trans)

08 LNF PN 25816005
08 LE5 PN 15889904 (manual trans)
08 LE5 PN 15889904 (auto trans)

 

the ca v1 is not being made any more due to the v2 fits all cobalts and looks nice...but only down fault the v1 is better for our n/a cars...the outlet is 3" when the old one was 2.5...but still a good product...go for it
