The K&N with the AEM dryflow seems to have the best results....i.e. No CEL problems. Injen seems to be throwing CELs left and right.

Here you go:
http://www.aempower.com/ViewCategory.aspx?CategoryID=93

Get an inner diameter measurement of your current filter neck or outer diameter measurement of your current intake pipe and match it to one on their list

Injen Intake:

Haven't heard/seen any Fujita setup cobalts though..


Injen shows the most gains out of the intakes for most cars to start with. the design "should" be the same if not, extremely similar in angles and tube routing for both Injen and Fujita.

You have to get the one that fits the outer diameter of your intake pipe and the length should just be no more than 5 inches long.

don't buy anything weapon R or MMW...(same company).....sh*tty products and numbers are not representative of what the car produces.

Stick to Injen/K&N/AEM.

Did you disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect it? This will reset the ECU and allow it to "re-learn" the new airflow and give it the ability to adjust fuel usage.

No one ever mentions CA CAI it is also 3" and really good quality with proven gains. Highly recommended

i just installed the AEM dryflow intake yesterday, perfect fit, quite simple and sick sound. plus i went from hitting 13psi to 15psi @ 32 degrees. AND NO CEL

Seems like it's up in the air between: K&N/Fujita/Injen

For the exhaust, other's please correct me if I'm wrong on this:

For S/C and N/A settings, you don't want to go much bigger than 2.5-2.75 inches inner diameter due to excess loss of pressure. In a S/C application (like yours), I would say 2.75 would be the largest I would go b/c you're still relying on the engine to produce the power and not the exhaust (just like an N/A). The S/C does help keep constant pressure in the manifold BUT, if you allow more and more exhaust gas to escape FASTER, the engine will be working harder to keep a constant pressure and be playing catch up.

Now, turbos, those you want immediate exhaust exit b/c the power of the engine is manipulated DIRECTLY by the exhaust flow itself. That's why a lot of turbo cars have electronic/mechanical dumps right after the down pipe. The faster you can get the exhaust to escape, the faster the turbine can spool thus...creating more pressure in the manifold.

For the S/C Cobalt, again, I would say no more than 2.75 inches INNER diameter for optimal performance. Anyone else got ideas?

Not 100% sure, but it should always point in the direction of the air flow.....I know exhaust parts are like that so I'm sure it would be the same for the intake. Should be pointing in the direction of the S/C.

There's an opening on the bottom end of the MAF Sensor one only one side of it. That opening should face the oncoming air...

I don't remember which way the arrow points.

Who cares about arrows?

There is a hole on only one side of the sensor. The sensor can either be mounted with the hole facing the filter or the S/C. It's a functional sensor and for it to function correctly incoming air has to be directed into that hole. The hole must face towards the filter...
