Not me, too wet and cold. Maybe when it's warmer. Sorry I haven't made the last few.

so after an unsuccessful attempt at cahnging my header i decided i am going to get a down pipe and then just take it to calgary muffler and have them deal with it so i have a couple questions.
1) The header is a shorty from cobalt adiction what would be a good downpipe to pair it with(just looking for opinions)?
2) about how much would they charge?
3) at the same tim should i have the full exhaust done?

just trying to get some opinions from you guys before i decide on anything

you've just posted in the LNF forum, in an LNF headpipe specific thread, asking (LNF owners) for a reccomended replacement headpipe to go with your LE5 shorty header?


Sorry, would you rather a local joke about your post, or someone that you'ld never meet really pull out hte 'jerk card'?!?

Call it a pre-emptive strike that (hopefully) avoids you really getting knocked by some of the less than stellar people here...

Incase you didn't realize it, the LNF uses a headpipe that comes straight off the turbo - so it is unlike any 2.2L, 2.4L, or LSJ header/headpipe combination.

Ok, to try to help;

Is there a headpipe that is supposed to go with this header?

or is this 'shorty header' supposed to go with the original headpipe?

I'm with Steve though - and were I in your shoes, I would put a little more research/effort into this before doling out money at a muffler/exhaust shop ~ they're going to make a (highball) guesstimate on straight labor to swap this for you;
if anything they're use/modify your original headpipe to use with this header.

Do you have a garage to work in?

Did you raise your car in the air to get as good of a 360 degree view of this area?

I might be able to help out...

that's complete baloney.

a vin makes the search easier because they can pick that cars seat option code, and get the part number that way - but you most certainly do not need a vin for any parts search - you just need to know what you're looking for.

Did you make hte mistake of talking to one of the tools @ jack carter?!?

I have (since they moved) repeatedly got that whole "sorry, i need a vin" bs from them - before I bought my cobalt, I had had decided that I've had enough with those clowns... they won't get another nickle of of me...
(and I live close enough to walk to them!)

Go to shaganappi, there are several competent parts employees there - I have never had any of them require a vin (I've actually known one of them for a little over a decade already)...

Actually yes I did. Every time I have gotten parts lately they have been from there. and they always say the same thing. what a bunch of ********. I wont go to them again. **** is so far. but I guess I got to do what I got to do. thanks

and I will not be available All weekend. sorry. prior engagements

I guess this is where I show my stuff. 2lt pride













*edit* how did that slip in there

sexy
wait a second!! - there was a car in that post!??



man, I can look that seat stuff up later too ~ I might be heading up to **** this week (going to phone them tomorrow)...

they're goign to be pricey;
iirc ls1fbody looked them up and was quoted something near, but just shy of $1k... and parts cost more up here...

you might want to see if anyone is doing a part out - and drive across the border to pick them up.

I am currently tryingto see if a member here who lives in northern montana (or whatever) might be willing to accept a shipment for me (then I'll go pick it up) - if I find someone, maybe they can help you out too?

I cant leave the country. for reasons we will not go into, But once I get the part numbers I can give them to my accountant. her husband or brother owns this parts company that supplys gm with there parts. or somthing like that. it works out to be like 1/3 the price.

Ya man give me all of your numbers you need and i will send them to her and see what they can doo.

http://www.profilecanada.com/company...pls_Calgary_AB

Is the company. I dont know exactly what they do but he told me he can get me parts alot cheaper then I can get them

and when I was with co-operators We insured over 50 companys linked to his and my accountants. so Its like a spiderweb of 4million revenue a yr companys.
