1) Mods don't get paid to be mods. I just enforce the rules.

2) Mods don't approve who the vendors are on this site.

3) Telling me to let them on is like talking to a brick wall. I can't do anything about it.

4) Thanks for the pointless argument.

I totally agree with you, so many vendors trying to get in but to no avail.

The admin is the only one that can do anything about it. So stop complaining and send him a message if you think it is going to do you any good.

finally got my car back from the dealer and as it turns out the cause of my car going into engine power reduced was not the K&N intake. it was acutally intermittent connection in connector p0090-00n6606 fuel system wiring and/or connector, so they replaced my high pressure fuel pump harness and connector and all is good. car is running great now...it was just a wierd coincidence that my car failed on me a day after installing the K&N...

That is how **** goes. My car magically started burning oil 40 minutes after I got my true duals welded up. Coincidence only as it had nothing to do with anything oil related

In other pplz defense, it took me damn near 2 months to just become a regular MEMBER.
If this wasn't such a large site for our cars, I woulda said fvck it! Damn near missed WCCM due to the slow admin. Just my 2 cents.

Anyone else see the guy on ebay selling this intake with the "make me an offer" thing. I just lowballed him .. we'll see if he fires back with an offer. As it is, his buy-it-now w/shipping is the lowest price I've seen. Feedback is good on the seller too.

I'm curious if he's actually able to ship them though... since I know the supply is exhausted currently.

Just an FYI, but i contacted him via email from a friend's recommendation. He did not solicit from me, i did PM him on here about some questions i had with ordering was all.

Dunno if that matters but i think it should.

Oh and i will have video of before and after up tonight. I could do a before/after run with the z28 as well... but its not really close enough even N/A to really see any gains the cobalt will have. I can try and get a run in with my friends Mustang GT before/after the install though, if you all want.

I would do a before/after dyno back to back but i dont really want to pay for a dyno hour at ART while i swap intakes on the rollers

I ordered from them by someone posting that they had the intake for a good price and I thank them for it. I think that if a mod doesn't get paid for doing his job then he needs to turn his head. It's not the companies falt that the owner of the site can't do his job, and it's deffinitly BS that he is going to get in trouble for the owners ******* decisions.

Most likely not. I contacted a seller on eBay about their listing and they did not have any in stock, they were just going to special order from K&N.
