2.0 LNF Engine: Hahn Charge Piping Install Instructions
IF you have someone to tune you for free....then I'd do it. Might be a small gain but not worth $300 to tune for the piping. The piping is MORE for higher HP durability than gaining GP
hey thanks for the right up i just opend my box when it came in the mail and i was like no instructions! man i hope some one on ssnet did a wright up on this thanks alot it is people like you that make this sight the ****. PRINTED and ps i know i am really late to the party. lol!

I realize that this is a decade old thread.
I used this thread yesterday, and figured that this might be the best place to post the following since it has to do with which pipes go where...
Now, I am probably the very last person in the entire Cobalt-SS-universe to have brand new, never run Hahn charge pipes.
Yup, your read that correct.
They were never-installed till just yesterday.
(I have been running the matching intake for so long that I'd be totally guessing if I gave an install date.)
I bought these a while ago, but held off on installing (for an absurdly long time) because I knew the cold side pipe was going to be a major pain to do (I had r&r'd my cold side pipe years ago, and had to fight with the install - I was not looking forward to repeating it.);
If my memory serves me, I bought these right around the time that ZZP released their own in-house charge pipes & CAI - at the time (leading up to ZZP releasing those parts) I had decided that I liked the Hahn intake and pipes more than the Injen which goes right over the valve cover, and I seem to recall that there were mixed reviews of the third one on the market at the time.
I am wondering if anyone who had installed Hahn charge pipes later installed an aftermarket intercooler, and found that the orientation of the low/hot side pipe no longer worked?
I ask because I have a Modern Performance (MPx) intercooler (I bought it back when MPx was the only company that offered an oversized intercooler for our cars which had factory ground clearance);
I mocked everything up, and it seems to me that the instructions for installing the lower hot side pipe will not work for me (post #1, step #5) - the long end of the pipe cannot fit in the cavity behind the end of the intercooler.
I actually removed my GM accessory under hood insulation pad (has the reflective "SS" logo) because I am concerned that this setup will rub - I was considering getting an under hood insulation pad from a lesser cobalt, and installing that to verify if it will chafe...
I closed my hood, and it appears that the large pipe was touching the hood pad.
Has anyone who had Hahn charge pipes maybe installed a different lower hot side pipe after installing an aftermarket intercooler?
I am all ears if anyone has any suggestion.
... and incase anyone cares (or remembers this) the most common complaint about the Hahn pipes was that they were steel, and they would rust;
My intake is steel, but these charge pipes are the aluminum ones - I intentionally waited till aluminum ones were being manufactured, little did I realize that they would stop offering these not too long after I received these.
