Cobalt SS 2.0L SC Short Ram Intake - Coming SOON!
Our new Chevrolet Cobalt SS 2.0L Short Ram Intake should be released within the next few weeks now. I figured I'd make a post to see how interested you guys would be before it's released! I also wanted to give the heads up...
Price: $159.99 plus shipping
Total: $169.99 Shipped anywhere in the United States ($10.00 Extra for Canada)
This won't throw a check engine light, and it WON'T cause the car to bog down.
Stay tuned...I'll be posting pictures HERE in this thread when everything is ready to go. Please also stay tuned to our website for more information: MaximumBoost.net

What power gains are you getting from the short ram? I heard the long ones make better power. If this is true I will stick with a longer intake. Are you designing one of those?

I personally think our stock tubing is fine and attaching a cone filter to the end in the fender will get you the same result.
It would be interesting to see some dyno's with stock tube and cai tube.

That's what I was thinking, it might look cool under the hood but if it's sucking hot air then it's not cool. Let's wait and see what frankmckeever has to say about there new product.

i'd really like to see this short ram and you saying it will not throw a cel, when our AIT sensors are mounted on the airbox. how exactly do you plan on dealing with that issue? the only way i see feasible is to put another ait sensor on the intake and if that can be done for $150, it might just be worth it lol
i can't remember exactly but i thought it was riveted in

Our stock intakes are Cold air intakes already due to space.

Most short ram intakes do suck in a lot of hot air unless the engine compartment has good air flow - ours doesn't. I've always thought of them as a 'show' mod, not a 'go' mod. But, since it is shorter, your S/C will make so much more noise during acceleration.
I'm currently building a drivers side headlight intake out of plexiglass that will be used during drag only - not streetable. No filter, just common window screen or panty hose to keep the bugs out of the supercharger. That's my idea of a short ram intake

the SS already has an intake that is or is at least very similar to a cold air intake... the only thing I would ever want to do is find a better filter and a hood with a scoop to shoot some mroe air its way

listen what we need to do is take the short ram intake and put on the carbon fiber ss hood. the cold air will go in through the scoop and into the short ram. JMO forced air induction. :;

What I was basically saying is that there is no room for an open element filter where the intake is for the supercharger, it would need to be in the wheel well.

you knowi still have my old oem filter box from my cougar, i might try to see if it can be fitted up to do a hood scoop of some sort. as soon as i get a chance to get into the garage again i'll measure it out.
the way that filter box is made, if it can be fitted properly, it would work, plus it's already using a standard size k&n filter so that would not be hard to find... damn i wish i had that thing at my house now lol

if your gonna look into buying that y dont you just get a air filter to slam right on the sc? (the ram air would not be as good at the stock cai would it?) seems like a down grade to me!

At least with a "ram air" hood, you can place some of the components on the underside of the hood to solve some of the clearance issues.

I would buy that for sure.
