I have dejon but i feel that there all the same performance wise. Its more for the look that you want. I wanted a bov so i got dejon because i like where the bov sits on it.

They're all virtually the same, the Injen has the best direct route but that's about it

The only difference between them aside form Injen is probably the powdercoat

I'd go with ZZP w/ the silicone couplers

Turbo XS is one of the best value IMO for a complete kit.

If i didnt want a bov I would have got an injen set from modern performance with the better couplers. You still could do a bov just would need to weld in a flange. Also treadstone seemed pretty nice and I think i remember thinking that they were a pretty good price. I would have got there intercooler and charge pipe kit but didnt like how there intercooler looks...thats why i didnt get theirs.

Where can I find that for the best price or do you guys not carry it? The Hahn kit I found is a full kit and only 350, and from what I remember their stuff is pretty good quality

Modern performance has the upper piping and couplers but no lower piping and that is the main piece I'm interested in because I was told our stocker sucks...

Turbo XS is better, plus Hahn's rust as it is mild steel:

Turbo XS Chevrolet Cobalt SS/TC Air Charge Pipe Kit

Cheaper in price too, in stock too!

Ive never used any hahn stuff but ive heard from many people that they use to be great but have really gone down hill. I think there charge pipes are like last in line now lol. To see how good quality there products are go look up there intercooler for the cobalt ss lol. They seem to not fit at all and take some modifying. And the injen pipe includes the upper and lower pipe for like 210 or something like that. If you dont want a bov i would go with injen. Call modern performance theyll help you out picking a charge pipe...honestly there probably my favorite company. It doesnt even matter if its their product. They will give you there honest opinion lol. Call them and ask them about the hahn charge pipe. They will tell you what they think of it.
Most of us havnt had hahn pipes so we dont really know.

Lower pipe won't matter. It's already good and won't fail unless a maf relocation is needed. The upper charge pipe is the one you gotta worry about. It'll break with a ton of boost flowing through. I got an injen upper charge pipe from mpx and love it. The looks are good and it kind of cleans up the engine bay a bit. Definitely worth the money.

honestly lower pipe won't matter unless you do a maf relocate and run a BOV. just spend the $230 on the injen and you'll be more than satisfied. you don't even see the lower, by the way.

Ya thats what i would do lol and if you have a trifecta tune you dont even need a maf relocate. His ecp tune makes you so you dont need a relocate at all for a bov to work properly.
