ZZP 3.25" LNF Cobalt Cold Air Intake

Does anyone have any experience with this intake? Possibly some pictures of what it looks like under the hood. I did a quick google search and all I can seem to find is the HHR intake.

I already have the ZZP intake tube that is why I am interested in this. But wondering if its worth it over the stock box with K&N drop in.

Everyone knows you can't gain any HP with mods on an LNF with a stock tune lol... **** learndown...


The most it will gain is 5 hp and most of it will show at high rpm's.

That looks lame.
3.25" is overkill on the stock turbo. The aftermarket ones have bigger cold side housings and that funk ass coupler means it wont fit bigger turbos.

I think it'll be good for k04r with forge vented bpv since maf sensor is moved further and put maf air straightener on it. It'll be easier to tune it.

I picked up significant power from 4K to 6500 by swapping out my factory air box/ZZP intake tube/drop in for the K&N SRI on the R. I'd imagine this would be close to the same.

However, stock turbo isn't going to gain much of anything.

Why would you say that ? I think it do because if anybody want to run forge vented bpv and if they stay on airbox mod then maf sensor are too close to vented bpv. Which it'll make it harder to tune, ZZP extended the maf sensor and that should be easier to tune with vented bpv...I think.

Because I have tuned them before.

You should not be venting any air that has already been read by the MAF. The proper way to VTA is to move the MAF to the cold side pipe so actual air is measured right before it goes into the engine. It doesnt matter if the MAF is right next to the VTA BOV or 20 feet in front of it; if you are venting metered air then it is wrong.

You cannot. Fuel will be way off and limp mode most likely.

My experience is different based on the MAF relocated HHR I tuned. Fueling at idle was horrendous but just mild vacuum accell/cruise wasn't too bad. Never threw codes or went into limp though.
