i got the same CAI but mine is going to be black. Are you going to install yourself or have it done? I read somewhere that some of the cobalts had to take their wheels off or the bumper to get the CAI in. Is this the same with the 09 ss/tc models? cant wait to get mine.

im ordering the same thing in the next couple days. but in black. how much did you pay altogether just curious

wouldn't you be able to remove the front right head light to install a CAI?

BPacak 09-16-2009 01:54 AM

ive read that you only need to remove the head light and some say you need to take off the wheel and what not. just gonna have to find out for myself

I believe the issue for installation is the most forward intake tube, its kinda below and just aft of the headlight. It has a rubber like fitting holding it in place, was quite the task for me to remove. It has one of those plastic fittings (as im not aware of the name im going to attempt to describe it) that has a head on it to put a screw driver on each side, lift up the middle and than the fitting can be removed. At the time when i removed it, i was able to get shears in there and cut it.

I'll do it myself, hopefully there's a way around taking all that shit off the car, on my 06 ss/sc injen said you needed to remove the front bumper, when all you needed to do was remove the wheel well shroud.

A lot, $640 for both (shipping to canada)

In regards to the "black" colour, its either the charge piping or CAI hasn't been released in blk yet...

bmac86 09-26-2009 02:18 PM

received my injen stuff yesterday, putting it on today, will post pics later

Are you going to use the Worm Drive clamps that come with the pipe or are you going to buy some T-Bolt clamps seperately? If so do you know what size?

Billy Baldone 09-26-2009 05:22 PM

To those who are using the worm dive clamps that come with the charge pipes,I am using them and am Trifecta tuned to 25 psi with no problems.Just tighten them real good and after a few miles on them snug them up again.

Baron7700 09-27-2009 05:36 PM

just take the headlight out, after that its straight forward, altho some of the pins are difficult to get out. There are good how to's on it, i put my hahn on the other day...

bmac86 09-27-2009 09:48 PM

took out the wheel well shroud thats it

CudaJoe 09-28-2009 07:48 AM

Hows that CAI working? No CELs? Im curious about the factory MAF/AFRs where the MAF sensor goes. Does that fix the skewed AFR problem? Data log this sucker.

tlake84 09-28-2009 09:42 AM

I had problems with my injen CAI... I had it on and off about 4 different times doing testing. The car jerks quite a bit while doing down the road at a constant speed, cause of the MAF tables are off.

Iam Broke 09-28-2009 01:07 PM

Anyone datalog an Injen CAI yet? I'm curious how the MAF cal is compared to stock? My AEM was skewed 10% before a tune.

I'd like one to match the CP I have someday.

Not sure if this just came out in the past week or so, but I ordered black charge piping on 9/20/09 and have it sitting in my living room right now...

I ordered these (top ones):

I was told by Injen that you need (4) 2.5" clamps and (2) 2" clamps. I went ahead and got (2) 2.25" clamps too, just in case...

I got them the other day and they are VERY BEEFY! These things look like they are made to clamp fire hoses, not turbo pipes! I'm very happy with the quality and expected results...
