Im pretty sure any import shop will have injen intakes, but I dont know which will have for the cobalt.

I cant find anywhere that sells it. I hope that they tested it enough to not throw a check engine light though.

Ill look into getting some, and will order some to get into inventory. Once we get them in inventory, we will have real live pictures of them, and will ship them off the same day ordered by Fedex.

Ill report back with details later today.

why does it say LS, does that mean base models cant use it?

tx05cobalt
06-08-2005, 04:05 PM
I think they are just trying to say SS models cant use it. There is no reason why an non LS model should not be able to use it. Wait for one of the companies to put them on ebay the price will drop... I to would buy it if I knew it was good but and would work. I emailed injen but so far no response.

I just ordered the Injen intake this morning. I used to have an Injen cold air on my Nissan and I loved it. They do make a quality product, so I had no hesitation in buying it. Once I get it and have it installed, ill make sure to post some pics.

The gains do seem low from what I saw for cavaliers. I knew the cavies were around 130whp stock.

As for the gains with the injen, i think its worth it. Plus the intake is actually awsome looking. I'm kind of pumped. Probably going into my car next after the system goes in the car and i get through this months car and insurance payments!

a 5hp increase on a dyno could be from anything
they could have iced the intake, and increased the octane ....etc

i wouldnt expect much power from an intake

Please let us know if you have the issues with the check engine light. I would like to order one but i don't want to if there are issues with it. Don't want to get stuck with something i can't fix. The customs shops here in Italy don't mess with american cars at all.

Here is a picture of the intake installed. I know its a small pic, but its all I have. http://cobaltss.net/gallery/files/7/4/8/injen_thumb.jpg

I honestly have no complaints with the intake. My gas mileage has increased almost 2mpg and I definately have alot more top end power than before. Its really not that loud either to be honest. It does have a nice tone though when I open it up. As far as rain goes, I drove through some nasty storms with the cold air and I havent had any trouble.

wikkymaster
07-14-2005, 01:02 PM
mine is in the mail i cant wait, how hard is it to install the cold air part i know you have to take off the bumper and stuff

PremioJoe
07-14-2005, 08:54 PM
Its really pretty simple to install. I actually didnt take the front bumper off. I just unbolted my wheel and took out the wheelwell cover to put the cold air extension on. It took me an hour to install everything.

NGA i recieved mine today from UPS around 4 pm, allready stuck it on (short ram version) will go w/ full cold air intake version when i have time to take front bumper off. I am very impressed w/ the speed and type of service that your company keeps, look forward to doing business w/ you in the future ! :cool:

quick question for anyone to see if they've tried this... instead of taking the front bumper completely off, any way to just take the plastic out from the inside of the fender well and then stick the rest of the kit on? i need to look at it to see if it can be done, thought of the idea setting here lol. if anyone has tried this plz post.

btw here is a pic of the new cold air intake short ram versoin, slightly bigger then primos ;)

Question for both of you that have it installed (even if it is still just the short ram at this point) does it increase the engine noise much either on the interior or exterior...this is one of my main deciding factors on going with an intake...I don't want my car screaming :lol:.

Permafried-

deuceKb
07-17-2005, 12:35 AM
With the factory exhaust and the CAI installed running normally, u can't really tell at all that u have it installed. after installation, when u punch the gas, u'll definately hear the CAI sucking in air in the car. I can hear it w/ my music turned about a 1/4 of the way up and my windows up. Sounds really good tho, makes u wana just punch the gas and get a new exhaust for the car! :cool:

brianfcp
07-17-2005, 12:36 PM
so is everyone happy with their injen intake? cause the more good news i hear, the closer i am to purchasing one. any issues at all? not much louder? ah man, hehe, i like to hear the car when you floor it, and silent when its idle...

07-17-2005, 12:53 PM

got pics of the full INJEN intake. I had some free time and installed it today through the right front fender well instead of taking the front bumper off. Sticking this second peice of pipe on quiets the car down a good bit from the other short ram version, but still sounds really good. Can't wait for an exhaust now.

I have the full cai, I've had it on for a couple weeks and no complaints, I just had to adjust mine because it just started vibrating against the inlet that leads to the filter, no ones fault but my own, 30 sec fix. Just make sure you do the job right the first time and you wont have to go back and waste your 30 seconds.

wow. can u say rip off. id never ever in my life spend 220 on an intake. i customly made mine for 50bucks. take a 95 civic intake from a junkyard. add a 90º bend and an $30 air filter and Bam u got a intake. which does the exact same thing as your $200 one. :lol:

Cobalt30
07-26-2005, 07:52 AM
is it gonna get better flow down there?

it should since the air filter is outside of the engine bay so instead of sucking in air that might be 150degrees (inside the engine bay) it will be sucking in cooler air from the outside of the engine bay and underneath the car where it is much cooler since heat rises. There will prolly also be a constant rush of moving air thourgh the new spot too so aslong as he is driving it will always be cooler air

I would highly not recommend doing that. But that is your decision. If you put your intake and the Injen one on Wikkys car on the dyno, I would bet that Wikkys will produce more power and LBS then your junkyard intake. Also you must be throwing all kinds of codes unline the Injen intake.

Post some pictures also!

Permafried-
07-26-2005, 01:42 PM
What type of air filter does it ship with (and if it's not K & N can a K & N be added)? I'm curious to see how it looks and where it comes down to, because I'd assume in the winter I would convert back to the short ram to protect my filter. As well, did you have a chance to dyno your car before and after the CAI was installed to verify that the numbers posted are close to those that you gained after the installation?

I still want to talk to my dealer to verify that this will in no way affect my warranty, particularly if they install it (at least if the labour costs won't kill me :)) because living in an apartment I don't really have anywhere to work on it, not gonna leave my bumper laying in the middle of the parking lot while I install it. As well, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem but if I were to purchase the bolt-on S/C in the future I'm assuming this wouldn't get in the way?

Thanks,

07-26-2005, 02:22 PM

this wouldnt work with a s/c and also injen makes there own filters i believe, looks like a decent filter to me

Thanks Wikky, I figured as much with the S/C...but I think I'm beginning to talk myself out of forced induction not only because I really don't need it, but my insurance will hurt as well. If all else fails I can rip the CAI off down the road if I do go with forced induction.

I'm going to take a look at K & N filters and see if their racing filter would fit this intake just because I prefer K & N filters over other brands (maybe I'm just fussy :-D). I would assume it would since the intake looks like 3" pipe and any cone should fit on the end of it but better safe than sorry.

Just a couple more questions for NGA. Was just wondering if this "Price 219.00 Free Shipping to Lower 48. 10.00 Extra to Canada!" means $229.00 in Canadian funds, or if it's $229.00 in American funds which means I have to take the exchange rate into consideration before making the payment if I were to act on the deal? As well, do you still have any chrome left or are they all black? What type of warranty is included with the CAI and finally, if I WERE to have an issue with the CAI, do I ship it back to Injen or would I be sending it back to you (I'm assuming the first option)?

Thanks,

Permafried-

My goodness THAT CAI has many bends.

Also, they reccomend you unhook your battery so when you are finished installing the intake, your ECU will adapt to the increased airflow.

watever why would it throw different codes out? its the same thing as your injen short intake. except i made mine myself instead of forking over $220 and it does the same thing and makes my car faster as well. :cssNET:

Hey guys, I just wanted to post some pics with the intake...It took me and my dad a little over an hour. Everything fit perfect, we took the front wheel and fender well off to get to the bottom of the intake..this was very easy..just a little time consuming. Gains are noticable and it definitely sounds awsome..

I want to thank NGASales for a great price, as well as fast and good service..... :cssNET:

We have toll free ordering, and because we have been in business since 1997, we have a great phone staff that will readily answer your call , and get the part shipped off the same day !

has anyone been having problems with CEL lights at all with these injen intakes? also if i get a intake is it recommended to get a new manifold and exhaust? also what are factory air intakes considered, shortram or cold air?

Xenozx
01-04-2006, 08:11 PM
had it installed for about 5 days, no CEL.

Are you serious? NO! Just install intake call it a day.

Its considered a factory intake...

Short rams and CAI bypass the AIRBOX that all stock intakes have. The only diff about short ram and CAI is that the Short ram still sucks hot air out of hte engine bay, where a CAI sucks it from outside of the engine bay.

EDIT: I have an SS/SC so # one may not be pertinate to you question.

I think we have sold about 35 of these and this is the first time i even heard of a 2.2L check engine light. They dont exist on this system, atleast not due to the intake.

I dunno about that graph.... depends on what type of dyno that Injen was using for their measurements.

Do any of the other companies show actual dyno graphs for their intakes, or do they just quote numbers?

You are not going to gain 17 HP on a 2.2 from a CAI. IM sorry, but those #'s are BS...

those higher numbers would be possible on the 2.0 so maybe thats where it came from

My guess would be they're measuring it at the crank...

Gravanatuning.com and modernperformance.com both sell the Injen Intakes as well as the AEM intakes.... Although a recent magazine did a test on HP and Torque ratings from different manufacturers... and the AEM won by about 1.5-2.0 hp on a 99 Civic Si.... but believe it or not the SHORT RAM versions of each made more power than the cold airs did!!!!

THey are both in the mid 250's.... I got my F5 Fujita for 297, and love it....
