Has any company actually designed a CAI for the HHR SS? Ive searched and found alot of talk about companies making them but that is as far as it went to be honest

 

I also have a 10 SS but no CAI.

 

I believe there was talk about CIA making one, can't remember though....

 

CIA never made it into production and was not CAI design

 

Try this!

High Performance Exhaust Systems - Chevy HHR Turbo Cold Air Intake

 

That is one mentioned already its NOT in production, nor is it CAI design

 

ssa cai =p

 

could you give more information on this??

 

joe schulte posted this in the engine bay thread, only aftermarket setup i've seen?

 

^i guess thats the nxt best thing...

 

That's the next worse thing...
Nothing but HOT air...

Remember the saying, "If it isn't broken, don't fit it..."
Stock HHR SS CAI is Ok...

 

Theres no cold air for the van and wont be. Its nothing but mostly old people that drive them and wouldnt get them. The stock setup we have works quite well. I had a true cold air that Secret Services out of texas made but sold it. It dropped to the left of the intake mani in front of the grille.

 

Why did you sell it? Any pics of it? Just curious.

 

^^ Aside from that you're only other option is the K&N intake. All it is is a new redesigned tube from the stock box to the turbo, a new filter and new filter box cover. The enginebay desgn in the HHR's won't allow for a true CAI like in the Cobalts; our giant windshield washer reservoir is in the way. Like Bart said our stock setup is actually pretty efficient. Make note that even if you have the GMTU, you'll get the best gains from a CAI with a tune.

Yes I am well aware of the effecency of our stock system...

It is just not very pleasing to the eye and makes maintenence a lil harder than it should be.

 

there is no where for a cai to exit the engine bay on the hhr. and yes the washer reservior gets in the way....i had to remove it for my sri setup

 

I have a pic in my phone somewhere... sold it cus the car is back to stock now and going to be sold

 

fixed

 

so we need like a snorkel cai ^_^

 

Jeep style..... i like it.

cut a hole in the hood and have the filter sticking out. ultimate RAM COLD AIR INTAKE combined into one!!!!! dyno gains of like 80rwhp

 

Hey matty so since i cut the plastic next to the radiator tell me where it took air from when i was moving??? Either way **** it lol it was useless and its now gone... it was on the car for a whole 2 days

 

it took air from your rectum.

 

All day man.... i sold it to HHRSSouth then he sold the car

 

is that useless huh
i want the air box
and a filter else where
>_< having a VC poweder
coated n a big ass air box
in the way is phail

 

Hmm im thinking more and more turning HHR to stock and selling it .....
