I took off the kit and sold it, then traded the car for a loaded '06 Silverado with 6K miles.

Ah, gotcha. Well congrats on your new ride, but me being the sport compact lovin' 20 year old I am, I can't really say I support your decision, lol. I hate trucks.....the way they look, handle, drive, etc etc. But if you needed it for the function, I guess I understand. If I do ever own a truck someday, its gonna be some busted POS I buy for $500 that I use strictly for its truck abilities (towing, pulling, loading stuff in the bed, etc etc) and an alternative vehicle to my car. Buuuut still, enjoy your new truck and always remember, stock = whack, so don't just sit there, get modding!!!!

Thanks for the kind words - not everything out there is for everyone (else why make so many alternatives, right?). Yes, we needed the functionality. And here in Colorado, I'm not inclined to run a POS in the winter (although I agree with your logic - we considered that, too). I'm contemplating replacing the wife's Impala LTZ with a 'vette. In the mean time, the truck should have stripes somewhat like my Cobalt stripes tonight (if I can get away from work), it already has a 3" Magnaflow stainless cat-back system, and I'm looking into intakes. Stock? What's that?

I just got an email from Z-Spec and they have so kindly provided me with some photographs of their Z-Spec Induction System. The pictures can be found on the first page.
Thanks again to Frank at Z-Spec for so quickly providing me with photos of their product, it is greatly appreciated and I hope it will stir up some interest in their products.
Also, I'm working on getting the Rebel Autoworkz CAI listed, however, I can't seem to find any information on their website pertaining to it. So it looks like I'll be sending a few PM's and maybe an email or two to see if I can get some pictures and information so I can get it listed in this thread.
Again, thanks to all of those who have contributed so far. Again, if anyone has any videos or anything they'd like to contribute, either post here or PM me, preferably the PM because I might miss it in this thread.
Thanks again

Its sad to see that even though this extensive thread exists, and is even a sticky, people are still making new threads asking where they can get intakes and who makes intakes for our cars and such......

Sounds good!
There's a thread about a page or two back in the 2.4 performance section where they list info, dyno charts, and a full description. I'd give you the link but I'm at work on my sidekick and I can open multiple pages at once. But I'm sure it won't be too hard to find. Hope this helps!

K&n
So it seems the K&N Typhoon is probably the best intake for our cars, as it's the only one made for a 2.4L VVT. I haven't seen any other dyno test an increase of 16 Hp. http://www.kandn.com/dynocharts/69-4517.pdf Maybe its the "mass air" sensor adaptor? http://www.kandn.com/instructions/69-4517.pdf I haven't noticed one on any of the other brands. The price doesn't seem any worse than the others either.
$180 for the z-spec or a lot less for home-made is tempting though...

Perhaps this question could be answered here and help a few others out - I have the Injen on my car and I am about to or want to clean the filter. Its pretty much an emergency that I do it now because I could be throwing CEL's soon if I don't - its pretty dirty. Anyhow, my question is - will the K&N cleaning kit work as well as the Injen? Injen kits have to be ordered and then shipped hence taking probably about 2 wks - I can't wait that long, but will if I have to. K&N I can get from a local auto parts shop.

The oil that comes in the kit, is it spray oil or like in a little dropper bottle? I thought about going with a dry flow filter - but where can I get one in such a bind? Also, any recommendations on what MAF cleaner I should buy? I heard you should clean it with every filter recharge.
