OK, Bad Mab responded quickly to my email. Brad said - our shorty header is a direct replacement for the HHR 2.4. I believe the dp is different, but not the header.

So this is in prep for my Supercharger install, downpipe suggestions? And will I have to replace the whole exhaust system?

Don't know, about the system, but I'm guessing you will before you are happy. I was going to buy one of those today, I just have a hard time accepting the fact that I will have to pay more for it than I want to.

I'll clean it up a bit and replace the studs.


He had a CLEAN '06 Silver Cobalt SS SC, it was Nice.

Thanks.
Yeah I knew it was a Good price for it.

When someone else asked how much he wanted for it and he replied "shoot me a offer probably anything over 40 ".

I JUMPED on it. And since we were local, we met half way so no shipping cost.

Contacted Bad Mab to be sure it fit while we pm'ed working out the details.

I'll clean it up nicely and a friend of mine owns a machine shop, so I will have him give it a once over and resurface it to make sure it's perfectly flat.

At $40.00 bucks, I couldn't pass it up.

Cobalt downpipes are a fit AP. You just need to get an auto downpipe.

ZZP has a few options if you want a higher flowing dp with a cat.

Don't get a cat-back. Waste of money imho.

Was hoping you'd show up Freek.

Thanks, I'll start lookin. We have to Pass Emissions here in Cook County IL. they used to just stick a rod up your muffler and have you rev up your car, and check your gas cap.


Now they have you get out of your car put the rod up the muffler and now they plug into your car and get more info. And they have large mirrors they can position under your car to get a look.

So I gotta be "legal" and able to Pass that dang emissions testing.

Bad Mab just has the one , LNF downpipe.


I already put a muffler on awhile back but good the hear I can keep some of the stock exhaust in place.

Off to search ZZP. Thanks.
