I was wondering if anyone has had had any CEL problems yet? Also is the Vibrant 3" Filter an oil or dry filter? Kind of a stupid question but is there much of a difference over stock size to 3"?

Sounds pretty sweet but was wondering if it was better then the injen CAI?

Therr is hand full guys down here in canada that run all year then no proablems some got dryflow and oil base . they work great and no codes

 

Translation:There is a handfull of guys here in Canada that run the Rebel Auto Worxs 3" intake all year round and have no problems. Some are using a dry flow filter, some are using an oil based. They work great and never have thrown a code.

We usually put a Vibrant Peformance 3" dry flow filter with our kits, but for different fluctuation in prices, we can ship other filters with it, dry or oil.

No, there hasn't been any CEL's to date.

Yes, there is a significant difference in going from the stock intake to the R.A.W. 3" intake. To compare the stock intake to ours, the stock one has more bottlenecks, than it does straight pipe. It's also only a 2.5" pipe, when it's not bottlenecking. Our intake is 3" throughout, no bottlenecking, giving you true flow the whole way through.

Is it better than the Injen CAI? Well, for one, the Injen is only 2.5". Secondly, if you owned an Injen, and came to our shop for our CAI, you wouldn't be the first to swap the Injen for the R.A.W. CAI.

We actually have or had, one or two Injen's laying around the shop from people swapping them out for our intakes. Actually, I think we may have resold them to others...

Anyways, did that answer your question(s)?

 

I really wanted this intake but it is way overpriced. Around $300 shipped for an intake? I could never spend $300 on a pipe for an intake. The Megan's exhaust is only $30 more and way more stainless steel with no welds showing.

 

Im going with the RAW CAI before winter, i got a fujita on it right now and its also a 3inch but from what i see in real person from the rebels works from his welding to his movement of the intake there is nothing that i think other company's would compare to, some companies make there intake as an estimate to the engine bay , meaning they rub, and i have used injens gen 2 intake and fujita and they both rub in 1 way or another, plus rebels is steel not 6061 T6 Aluminum Intake Tubing.

 

It looks freakn sweet, with no MIL ill be sure to get it over the injen. Also how do you clean a non oiled filter? Can I use an air hose to spray out the dust or how does that work?

 

the fittement and placing of the filter,is well thought out

 

USUALLY, if you get a CEL from an intake or filter it goes away between 50 and 100 miles. I put on Fujita F5 filter and had a CEL for 75 miles and just went away.

 

no issues with mine at all.

i have swapped my injen for this one and have never looked back.

 

For me, I'm probably going with the Rebel intake in the near future.
I can justify paying the extra $85, cause almost every American company I buy from ships UPS, and I get rapped on the shipping charges and brokerage.

 

please post up some pics, would like to see some quality, remember stainless parts aren't cheap and I doubt they use CNC made parts such as the MAF Bung. We go the distance to use quality parts on every component and then test and log our intakes using HP Tuners. I don't think even AEM or K&N go that far.

Here is ours:

 

I wanted that one but it won't fit on 07s. I think its better then rebels because there are no welds showing.

 

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR MAN GO CHEAP AND GO HOME ON RACE DAY, REBELS PRODUCTS ARE WORTH THE PRICE

I have the Injen and I'm thinking about going 3". I could be in the market for one, but not without selling my Injen. Rebel, U guys wount happen to work on a trade in type deal where I send U my Injen, and get sum type of credit twards your Intake?

 

Anyone know the diameter of the GMPP intake?

 

That's not really fair to say... name another company that has made the same kind of innovations for Cobalts that Rebel has? How about the same kind of dedication to one specific car?
Not to mention the fact that almost everything they sell is build in their own shop!

 

Well being able to see welds or not does not matter to me, looks like a quality product so Im going to buy it

 

Great to hear, post pics when you get it!

 

The Rebel Auto Worxs intakes fit 07's. We used an 07 to model them, and they fit every proceeding year great.

We will contact you regarding this ASAP

 

i might be interested in this as well.

 

Sorry, it sounded kind of
I just don't like people saying that Rebel is trying to gouge people... they do great work... if people don't want to pay, then that's their thing.

 

has there been any dyno tests on this intake over stock? and this intake vs other manufacturers like Injen, K&N, AEM???

 

i like it, installed fine and looks great.

No fitment issues if you take your time the first time.

No Cels, my fujita initially even gave me Cel's

And yes I replacedthe aluminum Fujita with poor fitment issues that eventually got a hole worn in it with this lovely stainless 3" version from Rebel.

Bout all I can say.... except Thanks Rebel!

 

as far as the intake goes, it will fit with the stock TB on the car. I thought about doing your group buy but never did due to money issues at the time. Also Rebel, you guys dont sell the actual TB you just sell the adapter plate, am i correct? I plan on getting this over my K&N if I can sell it that is, if not I plan on buying this anyways. Thanks.
