EDIT: This GP is no longer valid. We have designed a new 4 into 1 header which will allow us to offer a new improved TRI-Y header. Our opriginal TRI-Y header has been dis-continued and re-placed.

Please see the new header sale here:
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/supporting-vendor-deals-group-purchases-133/new-header-down-pipe-sale-114698/

 

what are primaries of the headers

 

IIRC, 1.75". I actually have their header installed in my car.

 

Nope. The primary tubes are 1 5/8" into 2" secondaries. We are interested in designing a 4 into 1 header with 1 3/4" primary tubes. We just need a local car.

 

My bad, I remembered 1 3/4" coming up somewhere talking about the primary. Guess it was the 4-1 and not the 4-2-1 I got.

 

does that downpipe go inside the header by the flanges?

 

The down-pipe bolts to the header via ball/socket flange.

 

these are some awesome parts guys!! jump on them!! i have seen their shop in person, met dan and the crew, and have the tri-y and high flow dp on my car....dont miss this

 

interested but need a price for head and dp shipped 85027

 

In order for us to offer you guys killer prices while also making some profit, we need to do a production run of no less than 5, preferably 10 or more. With just one person interested it really wouldn't benefit us to reduce the price. I would have thought more people would have been interested considering the price of gas these days. Headers, exhaust, intake and tuning will increase your miles per gallon. As long as you keep your foot out of it. otherwise you will gain the performance.

Come on guys, show us some interest. Keep us excited about being a vendor here and we'll keep you all excited with great deals, new products and awesome customer service.

Thanks.

 

I might be interested, but it depends on the price

 

Personally I don't know much about your product. I have more questions thatn answers like, how does it compare to the vibrant setup. I think if you can explain your system better more people might feel moer comfortable. Actually I didn't even know you guys were a vendor, so a better intro of yourselves as a company would help as well.

 

Does the stock downpipe and exhuast bolt to this header with no modification? Your warranty (although lifetime to the original purchaser) does not extend to the coating. What is the warranty from Performance Coatings?

 

the header has a ball and socket type connection on the backside to connect to thier downpipe...so yours would not bolt up to this, although you could have yours modified to a ball and socket if you wanted...i would suggest going with this header and dp though

 

No the stock downpipe does not bolt to the header. It uses a ball/socket flange. But they have a good price on their downpipe. Their downpipe does bolt up to the stock exhaust fine though.

The tri-y header flattens out your torque curve.


Blue is pre-header
Red is post-header (and really bad exhaust leak)
Both on Stage 2 Tune
Both 4th gear pulls
Times were ~1 week apart
temps were within 3* of each other

Gained about 15~20ft/lbs on the low end and about 10ft/lbs on the high end. And remember, these gains were with a horrid exhaust leak (ask Tom how loud it was). It's *MUCH* better now.

*Edit*
With the tune, I gained an additional 8whp and 7ft/lbs, with a torque curve that never dips below 206ft/lbs @ wheel.

 

Thanks for the info

 

went to your web page. Just a little confused about your prices. Does anybody know if i were to run this setup on my 2.2 would the 1 5/8" primaries hurt me. Which is only 1/8 (.125) bigger then the ZZP reccomended header of 1 1/2".

 

Tom (NWAE Cobalt) is running the header on his 2.2l, he should be able to help you out.

 

I would possibly be interested again dependant on price.

 

im am interested in the 4-1 header once you get it test fitted on a cobalt in the area

 

Thanks for all of your feedback and questions.

We have been a vendor on this forum for over a year now. We have introduced ourselves, posted for interest in new products, offer sales and have recently joined with TRIFecta Performance to bring another tuning option for the 2.4 and 2.2.

In a nutshell, we have been in business since 1999. We are an American small business and either make everything ourselves or use parts made in America. One of our core values is Patriotism. And we do our very best to support American businesses. We have moved three times doubling our space each time. We own 4 Mandrel benders, can bend from 1 1/2" to 3" including 304 stainless, mild steel and aluminized steel. We manufacture all of our own collectors in house, can flare, reduce, ball, as well do many other end forming with a custom hydraulic press we engineered and built ourselves. We design and build customer headers, intake and exhaust systems as well as design turbo systems (hardware only), and we manufacture several private label products for other companies.

The TRI-Y design header is completely different from the Vibrant header as their header is a 4 into 1 design. The 1 5/8" tubing we use is 14 gage (.083) wall thickness which is thicker than the industry standard of 16 gage (.065) wall. So the inside dimms are slightly reduced as not hurting performance with too large of a primary tube.

The other members who posted their experience and info are correct, the down-pipe is specific to our header. On a side note, we do have the ability to offer a bolt-in off-road pipe whish will replace the stock down-pipe (with stock cat converter). This would be for off-road use only.

We may be able to build a 4 into 1 header using our current fixtures and patterns. We'll see what we can do next week. It would allow the current down-pipe we make for our TRI-Y header to work with the 4 into 1.

I see there is definitely some interest so I'll work up a nice price for you guys. A 4 into 1 header would be much simpler to build, require less material and we could offer them for a lower price. I'll see what we can do.

Thanks everyone.

 

i am another member with this header. i absolutely love it. not only did i feel some nice gains but it sounds pretty bad ass.

 

i Would be intrested also for a killer price of course. Come on new product cut us a deal!

 

its not new by any means ive had mine for almost 2 years.

 

I appreciate this post alot, thanks for the info. I'm getting from your post that the try-y design header is more durable of a design but does it offer any performance advantages over the other headers that is on the market. I'm very interested in a header/dp combo for off-road use.
