that was my choice... between an &n or aem dryflow....i picked the k&n i will keep it on for a few days and read temps then try the aem and see which 1 has better logs

I figured I would go with the AEM since it doesn't need to be oiled so I don't set off any codes

Choko, here is a description of the code and the conditions under which that code is set:
This DTC tests for proper intake manifold vacuum flow to the evaporative emission (EVAP) system
Conditions for Setting the DTC
• The control module detects weak vacuum during a purge condition.
• The fuel tank vacuum is less than -1 inches H2O for 4 seconds continuously or 50 seconds cumulative, within 10 minutes of cold start.
• The 11 second test can run up to 10 times within 10 minutes of cold start and must be completed before this DTC will set.

We made a intake similar to that and ran it all the way down behind the bumper area, but it made no difference on the dyno. We tried a couple different air filters and came up with no real usable gains. On a stock car, the airbox/intake is setup pretty darn good from the factory.

I wonder if I can get a custom pipe made that will have 2 outlets from the intercooler, one going to the manifold and one for the intake
. Any takers?

Pretty much everything will have an effect on the MAF sensor. Nothing a tune wouldn't take care of tho
True. But it's definitely worth it for the sound over stock

Agreed. That would totally mess up the airflow and just in general, doesnt make sense. lol

i love the sound but i just dont like how its pulling air from engine bay.. i do have ss style hood so my engine bay is a little cooler then others.... i exented the pipe and its right by the stock intake hole right beside the fender...
i feel a little safer

2.) I am NOT "another one of those guys with this 'it pulls hot air from the engine bay' mentality", because I have a SRI on my 2.4L Cobalt. I don't think the difference between the SRI & CAI affect performance that much anyways.
3.) I was asking TTR whether THEIR intake will be a SRI, or a CAI.

Sorry dude there's no way that air gettin sucked into the motor from right next to a 200 degree motor is 10 degrees colder than the air gettin sucked in from the fender outside the engine bay. I'm sorry there's just no way. The only reason I could come up with is that the big plastic air box trapped in all the heat from the motor. However I feel it's unlikely that you're really seeing that big of a differance. But whatever like I said in the previous post all you turbo guys think you're God's gift to cars and know every damn thing so whatever...
put a little more effor and it wouldnt look so cheap only looks cheap b/c of the air filter use, paint the piping black, use a AEm dry flow and i bet it will look alot nicer
ill be back with a pic of what i mean
