WARNING! NOT SAI COMPATIBLE

Click here to see if yours have SAI (late 2006+ have them)


so today me and g5mike put on a modified air box on my cobalt

its basically a cut out stock air box with a cone filter attached to the end. to get the 3" inch filter on there you'll have to use some force since the plastic tube is 3 1/4 " and we cant find any 3 1/4 " inch filter. but a 3" K&N will fit nicely ....just use a little force to get it in









the stock filter clamp wont fit in there so you'll have to get a bigger one

so far the intake sounds AWSOME and i started to get backfire from the SS muffler


well time for more driving...will update more soon

 

btw....filter part number:

K&N RE-0930

its a 3 inch filter

(such a pain to find a filter around here.....we went to like 5 stores today to get one)

 

Getting ready for the turbo eh Pie?

Looks good.

 

Did you have to cut the airbox in order to get that filter on I assume?

 

yes....cut the air box and make it into a tube...(forgot to take pictures of it)

from the first picture you can see where the stock air box used to sit. cut it out and grind out the extra plastic and it'll become a tube. then just stick the filter there and ur done!

 

the best part is, the filter will sit nicely on the bottom half of the stock air box.

 

I can not beleive nobody came up with an air box mod like that yet its awsome, big money saver

 

hey mike.....i set off a car alarm today LOL i was just revving it and it was the parked car in front of me LOL

 

hows the throttle response, sound etc.etc..You know when I was pressing your gas peddle you can get a better response by tightening your throttle cable,you have a 2.2 so I don't think it is a computer controlled throttle body like on the 2.4

 

once you get a braket, i think it would look better without the bottom part of the box

 

Yep. I agree.

 

o the response is way better....i finally notice that on the streets.....especial accelerating from 40km/h

 

i gotta say the cobalt has pretty good sound insulation from the engine. from the inside with windows up it doesnt sound too different. but when the windows are down its a completely different story

 

Mike, if you know anything about car alarms, the one that he set off was an aftermarket one. However, it has the aftermarket car alarm sound (the 5 different sounds) and also the honk sound. I don't think a Prelude would have a factory security system.

 

The muffler will always sound different from the outside and, of course, the outside will sound better than the inside

 

Hey mason I have a pic of the airbox cut in my gallery but it will not transfer to this thread for me if you can do it much appreciated

 

here you go

 

lol i was driving tonite and i saw my bro....so i pass him after the red light and nailed it in front of him...

few minutes later he called me and said my car is so noisy...my dads not gonna like it


its so weird coz from the inside, it sounds pretty much the same as before...well a touch deeper of course

 

pretty nasty lookin eh! hard to imagine that piece looks the way it does comming from this? As you can see from the background I need a cobalt for the top of the monitor so I can retire the vibe

 

Ha!Ha unless you are hammering it out of the driveway he will never know or you can always say it is the muffler and if he suspects anything undre the hood you can take a few minutes to switch it out.

 

hehe its so cool that i can just swap it....i can do that if the cop pulls me over

 

Great mod, very easy and good place for me to start.

 

Hey Mason you should rename your title for2.4's also

 

Good job bro. You did it clean. I like it. Good sound?

 

thanks!
