I didn't buy a header for my car.I think that it might be the next step for more performance for me -but not right now.
I know that the Cobalt and Sky/Solstice forums are a good place to get more performance info on the Ecotec engines we all share.One guy had his cams reground and said he made big power gains.Obviously this step is a big one and not something most of us would consider doing.If this kind of performance is what you want, then check out these sites too.

I installed the Airaide intake and noticed gains all around. Quicker starts. More torque and more passing power. now whem I say more I don't mean like 50HP. Maybe 8 at the most but I do notice the difference. Not much of a MPG increase with regular unleaded but if I run super it never drops below 30 mpg.
Sounds really cool too.
