Nope. Sidekick iD.......the poor man's internet phone. All the VA guys are familiar with the way my car sounds though as it usually stands out sound wise at our meets.

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!

 

Couple of more questions:

Would a tune be a good idea for this?

and

How do you think it will sound with the rest of the exhaust being stock?

 

x2, cuz i wanna keep my stock exhaust too...for now anyway baut i hopew still badass jsut quiet lol

 

Yeah, I'll see how it sounds with stock. Then maybe get a megan after that? That'll really sound like a WRX, I think. Hurm.

So no tune necessary? I ask this cuz I saw a guy on youtube saying he was gonna get a tune for it.

Oh, and I showed a picture of it to my uncle, who used to build muscle cars and wants to help me install it. Before I showed it to him, he said it'll probably be pretty easy and straightforward. Then I showed it to him, and he was like "hoooly shiiit"

 

either the guy in the video has FULL 3" exhaust or he has the JBP header and just a 3" catback.

 

haha, NICE!
no you dont need a tune, but if you did you might see a little higher numbers but just barely i think...

 

dude i know! i did the same. i showed my dad and hes worked on cars his whole life and is restoring a 69 camaro and stuff. i was like "dad check out this header, i bet youve never seen anything like it", hes like "i bet you i have, ive seen everything", then he looked and hes like "are you ******* serious? is this a joke" then i showed him the video and hes like "do they make that for a chevy 454?" and i laughed for about 15 minutes.

 

installed on 2.4 with check engine light resulting. also problem with coolant line hitting the header. another issue was that i used the stock studs, and the header wouldn't sit properly on the head. so had to drill 2 of the holes bigger on the header flange....(don't know why this was such an issue, but not sure if using the supplied bolts would do the same thing).

fixed cel issue, related to second o2 sensor shorting out.

 

Are these major issues? Also, vids?

 

pics and vids or ban

come on may. you know the driill haha that sucks though. sounds like a rough install

 

It seems like if you're going to spend all the money to get this header that it should be hooked up with a nice downpipe, high flow cat, and catback exhaust. As for catback's the Ark N2 really is an awesome exhaust. I'd know I have it and wouldn't change it if you paid me. As far as the coolant line that was said to be in the way it's probably the same one that i had to cut and reroute when I put in my vibrant long tube header. Kind of a pain but once again worth it. all in all its an awesome sounding combo.

Here's a quick video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR5HQVchyKk

Not to mention if you're ever bored and feel like being a menace to society it works wonders for setting off car alarms in parking ramps. found out by accident after i ripped up on of the levels and set off a minimum of 5

 

I hear ya man, mine does the same thing.

After listening to your video, I still believe mine is a bit louder though

 

haha nice. yea mine sounds a bit quiet in the video. only way to really tell would be put the 2 cars next to eachother lol. either way props on a nice setup

 

the sound of the cobalt with the jbp header sounds way dif and moe aggressive then that

 

yep, its just because of the header design

 

yea thats a crazy header...i kinda figure there would be some issues

 

did purchase a zzp high flow downpipe off member, but he never sent or offered refund

 

Pics and vids NOW

please

 

im sorry but this header is too much of a pain to put on

 

done and done, used my blackberry so quality may not be the greatest...

started to place header wrap on...may just get firewall wrap for injector harness
