im picking up my 07 ss/sc on saturday and im wondering about 2 things... first off, is there an intake out for 07's yet or is it the same as the 06's? and also is it safe to put an intake on my brand new car or should i break it in first for a couple thousand km's?

 

im sure the intakes are the same...
and if it was me i would ait befor you put the intake in but thats what i would doo... i dont think there is a right or wrogn answer...

 

i just dont wanna risk it cause the 07's apparently changed a little but with the computer and stuff and im wondering if that can be affected at all. im just anxious to get an intake thats all.

 

its just an intake haha just wait a little

 

lol true, but you know how you get those little thoughts in yor head when your getting a new car... i just wanna hear some good sound and let it breathe a bit... then hopefully some good stage kits will be around for the 07's after winter.

 

Are you sure that is the right part #, it says exhaust manifold, he is talking about an intake....

Also, the changes with the computer were supposedly software, not hardware, so an intake wouldn't effect anything. Also, don't waste your money on an intake, just get an AEM Dryflow filter.

 

My bad its gone.

 

so if i get an aem dry flow filter will it just install right in my air box or will i have to do any mods to make it fit or breathe better? as long as i can achieve the same performance as a cold air intake i dont really care what i do.

 

i know gm now makes one for the 2.2 and 2.4 guys, saw the bulliten at the garage the other day, i dunno about the ss/sc

 

Here is what you do:
1. Order AEM dry flo filter, part# 21-2110DK or other aftermarket replacement filter.
2. Make sure you have the tools for the job, review/search "how to" section of forum.
3. Depending on warranty concerns you can:
A-Do Airbox Mod(Major Surgery/Destruction to stock airbox-see Airbox Mod in "how to")
B-Partial Airbox Mod(Install AEM filter, leave bottom of airbox off. Requires drilling 1
hole in airbox-very easy.
C-Replace factory filter with AEM, it fits perfectly.

4. Performance/gains are in order listed.

I've done option 'B' so far, big improvement. Plan on doing option 'A' soon.

I find it strange that I bought a new car and the first thing I do is start replacing parts.

 

There isn't really much of a performance difference between leaving the bottom of the airbox off and completely destroying. The only difference is if you destroy it, there is a direct route for water to get on it. Don't destroy the airbox, it is pointless, the filter isn't big enough to need that much air. BTW, you can put the airbox cover back on once you have installed the Dryflow in case your area usually has deep puddles around.
