hey guys i recently bought an 06 cobalt ss/sc and was wondering what mods I can do to it to make it quicker considering its completely stock...and if i get an intake which one can I install without getting a check engine or code thrown?

Thanks.

car has close to 94k miles

 

search airbox mod. that's what I did too mine when I bought my balt. just costed me a filter and I've had no codes.

 

Any intake runs the risk of turning the CEL on. Just get an intake and stage kit and the tune will fix it

 

in b4 mrbelvedere says to use search

 

You should post that in more threads

 

i would say search, but then he might find an older thread. the only intake worth much is the zzp 3 in. and even that isnt gonna give noticeable gains. if you want to be quicker, go with a stage kit. slap a 3 inch pulley and some 42s on or a 2.8 and 60s. get a wideband and find someone to tune it.

 

if you would have opened up your eyes you would have found this in the stickies https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-0l...-guide-217195/ or if you would have searched you more then likely would have found this https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-0l...-guide-217195/

omg, its the css number of all numbers

 

in all fairness, I use the search bar on this site and it brings up random threads. but then I google it and use the css threads that show up ;-)

 

go to advanced search.... make sure you're in the LSJ section... and go from there.... It's really, really difficult.

 

I have a intake up for sale, you need to buy a filter , house and clamps though. $20 + shipping.

 

Hey salvage, you forgot to make the B in badmab bold in your sig

 

ya I saw that, just was to lazy to fix it lol

edit : FIXED.

 

This is what you want to buy. The install is straight forward and I've yet to get a CEL. Make sure to pick up a hydro shield from K&N as well since the giant air filter sits pretty low.

 

Thanks a lot guys and sorry im new to the site haha i shoulda searched but i appreciate the help

 

ok thanks and the k&n hydro guard, does it restrict any air? or negatively affect it and how much water does it actually prevent from going in?

 

use the search button and answer your own question

 

It does not restrict any air but it does keep out fine particulates as well as the larger stuff that likes to get stuck between the pleats. I highly recommend it. As for the water, it will keep any small splashing from getting to the filter, but if you submerge it, you're screwed.

That said, with all the covers in place, it won't be seeing much water unless you dunk it. I'd be more worried about the hose clamps losing tension on a downward facing filter.

 

also when you search, make sure you use the topics and not all posts. all posts will bring up ANYTHING within those forums specified with that key search word.

I wish the forums would inject a child-safety feature..when you post after clicking 'new thread', it pops up asking 'have you searched 'these threads yet'? I think ecotecforum or another one Im on does that. Cant remember right now. Or when a new member posts without more than 10 posts or something, they are required to do a 'search training' like in shooter games. When you have to go through a range, practicing crouching, aiming, etc. After 10 successful 'searches', you're allowed to post. just sayin...

 

In my opinion, I am sick of these 'use search' posts. If you do not want to contribute, dont post. I guess we should all stop posting then because every single topic has come up before. How about we all do that?

 

maybe it should be mandatory for all new users to read these before they post

 

yeah, because all new users own the lsj and are interested in cai's and stage kits

 

I'm actually in the middle of making a Cobalt SS wiki. It'll be mostly SS/SC stuff, but I am going to compile all the best info for things like the intake, exhaust, etc and put it on one wiki nest.
