You might want to do some reading on long term results. So far what I know is that the Hahn charge pipes don't fit for **** and there have been a few people that have had their hoods dented from the inside. There is also 2 threads on here about end tanks blowing apart on their intercoolers. Their quality is easily beaten by every other vendor on this site, so we don't even need to get into how over priced their products are.
I have the K&N SRI and the fitment, quality, looks and performance are top notch. The only Intake I would put ahead of it is BYT's as far an performance.
As far as IAT temps, mine never exceed the outside air temp, so don't give me any crap about the filter sucking heat from under the hood....

Post up a log of your IAT1s in 90+* heat... and I will show you mine... And if you are to blind to see the difference in heat... then well you just solely can't be helped.
Reading... on results.... I have been part of SAID results since these cars came out... so dont' give me any CRAP about reading....

I'll get back to you on the logs when it gets to be more than 75* here
There is only one K&N intake system for the LNF guys. It's called a couple different things depending where you see it. But it's all the same thing.

But for those that actually come to me for advice (which there are QUITE a few, as I have tuned over 75 cobalts around the country maybe even more)... I do know a thing or 2 about these cars and the platforms in general.
Cold airs will always yield cooler IATs... they almost always show an increase in top end responce. Not that the SRI won't do that... but I know GMtunersource did a dyno study on 3 intakes... on a GMS1 car and the HAHN showed a 23whp difference while the others were between 10-15whp.
Thats not me... thats an outside source. Tuning wise the HAHN seems to be the most stable. I know a buddy of mine has the K&N and his tuned out pretty easily to. SO on that note they are pretty comprable.
Any other questions feel free to ask. But MY HAHN parts, have been fantastic. And I will repeat, anything other than pedders your exhaust will hit the twisting beam, it's easily modified by changing the angle of the over axle portion.... My HAHN intake has performed flawlessly! I can't speak of the rest as I do not and have not ever owned them... their charge pipes hit on some cars, and their intercoolers pop welds, but so does synapse's i/c's as I went through 2 of them... I don't say theya re a bad company because their turbo manifold is ******* beautiful! And works FLAWLESSLY!

The ZZP silicone coupler is more "stable" than the Hahn intake.
ZZP catbacks do not hit on the rear beam.
