Hey steve, is that the header that is compatible with some cobalts SAI (Secondary Air Injection) system?
my balt has that **** and that stupid system is such a POS when you want to mod.

No.It's not designed for SAI.Mine doesn't have SAI or ever has had it.
The header is off Ebay called "Speed Daddy".After installing the Badmab and this one,they are identical,literally.This on has equal bend primarys but I did notice they are slightly unequal length,which is really unnoticable cruising.Once you get towards 4,000RPM just slightly on the throttle,I've noticed it has a slight "Subie" rumble which sounds knarly as hell.It pull noticeably harder throughout the entire powerband.I rolled it out to about 20 mph then smashed it in 1st,of course it spin right to the fuel cut.I hit it in 2nd and it continued to spin,which it's never done during summer here.It is a noticable gain.Once I get it retuned on E47,I'm hittin the dyno.

If you do have boost creep just make sure you at least compensate for it in either the tune or turning the boost down until you're able to figure out if it's the turbo or the manifold..

YOur first on the list buddy Ill sell you whole car for 15000 with 30000 in it lol

And tundra I've got it down to a safe level now, no fun might I add. The car is still fast but I live downtown now, this car does not like to go slow. So kind of a conundrum, have a car that hates slow, built for high power, but tune/probs not ready to go at it. Seems kinda pointless lol. Hopefully all will be ready for CED

I was bout cut my springs but I noticed our springs get narrower rings at each end that look like they hold it in place which end would I cut coils off of top or bottom AMD would they fall out then when I lift the car. I have sportlines and they have a lotof coils touching each outher on bottom half. Like four coils serious like rest on each other.
