after anyone installed their 2.4 manifold and has an Injen intake does it rub the hood blanket?

yes sir i did. it is the single best thing i've bought so far.

pulls like a mother. come to the meet on sunday and i'll take you for a ride in it.



i'm asking about the rubbing cause when i finished installing it the little elbow that says Injen looked really high. and my friend confirmed it by looking with a flashlight when the hood was closed. just wanted to make sure that this was normal.

so for the 2.4 manfold did you manage to use the 2.4 tb as well? or just put the 2.2 tb on it instead?

i just used the 2.2 tb and the spacer cause i have no form of tune that is needed.

may be a stupid question, but if i do the 2.4 mani swap (i have an 07 ls w/2.2) will i need to tune? i just bought a fujita cai too.

Sweet. My extended brake booster hose will be in monday. I know the engine is LE5, but the part number is different. And you think all I need is the manifold and gaskets? No adapter plate or anything?

I have a 2008 2.2 G5. I came across a FREE 2008 G6 2.4 manifold and it is different than mine. But i dont know if it will add any power.

if it's the exact same as the 2.4 Cobalt manifold it should work. if it's a tad different it may not. i'm not too sure. best thing to do would be to ask someone on here that knows his stuff. try messaging Maven. he knows a lot about these motors and would most likely be a better help than i.

and as far as power if it is the same you will see about 12-13 whp in high rev, and a tiny loss of torque down low. i don't even notice the loss. so i'd say it's all good! :twothumbs

I have responded in a few threads....nobody seems to know. The manifold is not the same as the L61 OR the LE5 SS manifold. It looks bigger than mine, and should bolt up fine, but other than that I dont know.


Anyone have info??

How is it different then your 2.2's? Take some pics, post them, and let us see.

Its completely different than my 2.2 manifold. Its dark out now, my manifold is on the car, so you will have to settle for INSTALLED pics of my 2.2 manifold...or just look at anyones pics online with a 2.2. the runners on the 2008 2.4 manifold feel bigger.
