Also I asked this before and got no replies but, is there ever going to be a short ram air intake for the SS/SC ?
Not sure if a short RAm would work. I've already experiemnted with a short ram I had lying around, all it does is make the engine sputter, the rpms jump from 500-1500..dunno if thats because the MAF isnt being detected? someone help me out..I got my K&N intake in the other day, i'm very pleased with it. And if anyone is interested in K&Ns looks like they'e getting a bit cheaper, only about $200+ shipping on ebay..

When I got my SS/SC last march, I was bored and took the stock pipe off, and just popped a filter on it and it did the same thing. The MAS was not connected that's why. I would not mind spending more money on an intake, if the gains are there. I just need to know the differences.

well my old time stock is listed in my sig, I don't have a dyno nearby, so i'll base my gains off my next few 1/4 runs. Hopefully Ill have my catback in by the time I run it.

I'm glad someone asked this question directly, because after searching, this was the best thread I've seen.

Yeah, i'm interested to see how this turns out, even though i'll need to filter out 80% 'cause of flame posts.

I've looked at other posts, and have found some cai's are colored, but I don't want to end up with a half-assed product just because it 'looks pretty' ya know..

Good repost. Nice to see some people with new input. I prefer K&N for quality.

Oh and Sneaky, I think he is looking for new input so the search wouldnt really benefit would it? How hard is it not to post if you don't want to?

K&N or Injen? Injen claims 17hp peak and K&N is 8 average right? Injen is like 12-14 average. So injen has the more hp gain. However K&N has that drycharger!!! WHICH ONE SHOULD I CHOOSE? PLEASE HELP!

I know that the INJEN for the 2.2 cobalt is 2 pieces so that it can be used as a short ram in the winter and a cold air in the summer, if this is how the 2.0 one is that is what i would suggest.

Considering 2 of these intakes don't even exist on the market yet I think this poll is definetly a bit premature.
