Downpipe options
I recently purchased a 2008 SS automatic and am looking to upgrade to an off road down pipe and am just curious which company is preferred for performance and reliability with censor issues. Also looking to upgrade the intercooler and hot piping if there's any pro's and con's to certain companies. Could really help to get some info on these parts.

Hahn is the only company that makes a dp specifically for he automatic....there ends up being a difference in length if a regular dp is used with an auto tranny....not sure why. Any of the cobalt parts will fit the hhr. I don't recommend hahn....their customer service sucks and they are way over priced. Zzp, dejon, hahn, treadstone, mpx, badmab all make downpipes. All but dejon and badmab make intercoolers as do genuine sabb and werks. All but mpx and badmab make charge piping.
If you are worried about cel's w/ the downpipe id stay away from the badmab cause it doesn't have an angled o2 bung whereas the others do....that will help prevent the cel's.

I am looking at purchasing the Bad-mab did it work well for you? I have an automatic and am concerned about the fitment but can't find ANYTHING here on the forums about the BadMab and autos here on the forum.
