so just a quick question for all of the people using this... how do you like it? does it really get in the way of the spark plugs? and did you notice a big gain or increase in throttle response? when i say big gain im thinking maybe 5-8 hp? i like the fact that its cheap brand new and is straight pipe no restrictions. but i was looking into hahn charged piping before this and its crazy expensive compared. also doe the injen only come with the hot side piping? ok sorry for all of the questions! thanks guys debating on getting this really need charged piping and intercooler bad lol.

 

also did it come with all of the couplers and clamps as well? id think it would

 

it only comes with the hot side piping and from what ive heard its good **** you just needa make sure you get the upgraded tbolts mpx sells it here and offers the tbolts too

Injen Black Pressure Piping 08+ Chev Cobalt SS Turbo - Intercoolers & Hoses

 

Ya? Do the original clamps and hoses pop out alot?

 

yup thats why the sell the upgrade kit

 

You'll need a swivel to get to #2 spark plug, but the Injen charge pipe doesn't have to be removed. Oil filter access is ok too. Get the coupler & clamp upgrade.

 

Ahh ok so what gains would you think you'd see with this? Lol I guess I can get the cool side piping from zzp along with their intercooler.

 

yea zzp makes good **** too

 

The best thing about the Injen charge pipe is that its the only one thats mounts which is why i chose that one. its much more sturdy than any other one.

 

And ya? Well that's good to here I found a place where they sell the kit for 159.00 and I can get the mpx upgrade kit after as well. Come out cheaper. Sounds like alot of people like the injen

 

injen makes good **** just dont buy the intake lol and make sure you get the upgrade clamp kit

 

And really the the injen is more sturdy I didn't know that. If it's anything like the k&n intake sturdy that's great! Haha.

 

why not buy the intake? ive had mine on for about 17k miles and have never had a problem with it..

 

I already have the kn one and love it!

 

the injen ic pipes has a clamp where it bolts to the stock location just like the stock pipes and the injen intake is good just isnt that great read the ss/tc intake review and youll find out why

 

i think its really only good for maybe 2-3 peak hp but throttle response is supposd to be allot smoother and a little more oompf in the middle range.

fyi this is compiled from everything ive ever read on this website for lnf upper CP

 

Oh ok sounds good I just thought maybe it would free a couple peak hp more because of more boost but I have heard alot of midrange power as well and of course throttle response. Im thinking I might actually look into to it.

 

i believe it actually takes less boost to make the same HP. and it should spool a little faster as well. i dont think you will see more boost with it. its all about eficiency anyway. more boost isnt better. more hp/tq with less or equal boost is FTW

 

does injen make a pipe that runs from the bottom of the intake (I'm talkin bout the full intake) to the intercooler

 

No I'm just asking cause it's not on stock boost

 

fair enough. i believe tunes on this car work by aiming to move a certain amount of air. so if air flow becomes easier the boost SHOULD actually drop and your hp should rise a little.

 

I like mine, worth it IMO

 

Oh ok ya I see what your saying more free flowing air moving through. Ok I got ya. And ya seems like everyone that has it at least for the most part likes it

 

I have never had the stock clamps come loose and I run it pretty hard.

 

well if mpx and other companys offer better clamps and hoses its gotta be a big problem my buddy had it happen to him last week and hes not even tuned
