It's piping. One isn't going to "produce" any power over another unless one has more bends than the other but even if it did, they are mendral bent and you wouldn't even notice.
Just pick one. It's not rocket science.
I seriously can't believe there are 5 pages now of what exhaust system to pick...

Yea no kidding, I can't stand that sound, its the sound of an ass job IMO. Why make your car look good (which most ricer cars dont anyways) then go and make it sound like straight ass.

theres truly no such thing as a "Straight Pipe", the fact that theres quite a few bends in the exhaust will cause sufficient backpressure for the motor...
Back Pressure is good for low end power... but bad for high end...
So if you cut the muffler/resonator/cat/whatever, you will lose some low rpm power, but gain quite a bit in the high end.

Actually i dont drive down the street like a jackass, secondly my car is only slightly louder at idle than it was before i put the header on w/o a cat, its sounds almost stock at idle, and 3rd its only really loud at WOT. If this was directed towards someone else then im sorry, if it was directed towards me then just **** off who said your opinion matters.

get the megan racing exhaust, its cheap as hell ($330.00) and sounds, looks, and performs amazing. its deep without being raspy. i get a ton of compliments. and with the money you save for going with ark n2 or some other you can do another mod!!! you can look for my videos of mine on myspace just search for chevy cobalt ss megan racing exhaust.
dude I gotta say, that sounded raspy as hell...maybe its your camera or sumthin, but that sounded like dog ****. IMO. Seriously, If you want good exhaust just get custom **** done. Go to an exhaust shop, say hey I want a custom mendrel bent 3" exhaust set up. If a cat is required in your state like in mine, get a high flow, an extra resonator, and when choosing your muffler go with a longer more ovular one. That will create a deeper sound. If you want loud as ****, then dont do a resonator. I personally thought Blown 4bangers exhaust sounded ****** kick ass especially with the screamin of his S/C. so that is what I will be doing
. But like NHJK said, its not rocket science, just pick one.

Well videos never get the true sound, that is why I said it might just be the camera. I'm not knocking you for it, because it is your car, and as long as your happy with it that is all that matters. I just like the way Blown's sounded, I actually paid 600 bucks for a custom header back (header not included) on my Cavy, it sounded good, and if I woulda got the header with it then it probably would took all the rasp out of it. It was a 2.5 inch high flow cat with two resonators on each exit. Dual exit.
