nice write up. Sub'd

 

Thanks man.....did it months ago. Looks like a couple peeps used it.

 

Thank You. I will for sure use this. Just hope that my neighbor will let me use his lift

 

Now I know the front bumper doesn't need to be taken off to install this injen CP

 

the OP is a fucken douche

 

Love you too Eric. :P

 

i just got my hahn charge pipe i have the trifecta tune do i need to get retuned for this mod? and has anyone noticed a power difference?

 

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

 

still a ***

 

sub'd... nice write up, now I just gotta save up and get me some piping

 

Thanks bro. Best of luck.

 

 

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!

this guy spelled "write up" like 3 different ways

 

I'll be using this in a few months to put my stuff together, so thanks in advance for a great write-up!

 

whats the torque spec on the clamps?

 

^^^^^anyone? i dont wanna take the chance of it blowing under presure

 

thanks a lot!!!! bump

 

wats the sensor that needs to be plugged into the cold side of the charge pipe? my old injen ones never had a sensor to connect to the charge pipes :s

 

Happy this is still getting used. Guess Hahn gave up on proper instructions.

 

Going to use this write up the weekend. Installing all my parts.

 

For the Clamps, rule of thumb is you want to see a slight crease in the rubber showing that it is actually biting...

 

hey guys, how did you figure out how to put the clamp all the way down the hose for the lower cp?

I can't seem to find the right angle to get it down....

 

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.
