haha, yeah, that 31 was full 3" exhaust and 3" intake, but it should free up some decent power on even an N/A motor.

Damn, I guess I'll have to be the first then. I don't think I can wait an undisclosed amount of time.

keep in mind solid mounts do induce more engine vibration as far as i read.. just to warn you guys first

oh, i know they do, but once they break in it's hardly noticeable.

imagine what the guys with neutral balance shafts deal with...

It's around $580 now, and it retails around $800. Yes, they make a full 3" cat back, but it's very expensive. (It sounds awesome with the header though)

The JBP header is a bit overkill for a 2.4SS IMO (unless its supercharged). I'll stick to my more mild CA v1 header

Not a fan personally. I hate the Subie burble, so im naturally not a fan of the JBP's sound. I like a more raw, aggressive sound. I know someone who has a really nice sounding Cobalt.......

...oh wait, thats me! (CA v1 header, XTC 2.5" cat-less dp, ARK N2 cat-back) My fave sounding car i've ever owned. (previously had a hooked up '88 RX-7 and '97 M3)
