All shorty headers generally look the same. The Shiney-Hiney header is actually the exact same header as the CA v1. CA dosen't sell it anymore.......because they designed a new header and sold the design of their old header to Shiney-Hiney to produce.

GM has an actual procedure to check if your ECM is tuned using a Tech II

Vector Motorsports used that procedure and worked its way around it to develop a stealth tune / undetectable.
They actually made sure that each thing GM checks in their "tune finding procedure" passes the check:

it wont void warranty unless the damage is proven that its caused by the header.... and i dont see how it could do any damage unless it is not installed properly

it is the best bang for the buck header out there

Depends on how much of a dick your stealership is, and yes its a very nice header. Its the same header as the Cobalt Addiction v1 (CA sold Shiney Hiney the rights to this header when they made their v2 model), and i've been running it on my car for nearly 3 years now (almost 60k miles) with no problems.

GM performance magazine dynoed it around 10-15whp gain (something like that) but I got 11whp gain from my K&N intake alone.
