Air dam from 2.4L on 2.2L

I have just installed the lower air dam off of a 2.4L SS onto my Cobalt.

The temperature drop from before the air dam that I have seen while cruising so far has been around 8 degrees F.
- Before air dam was about 198 degrees F
- After air dam is now about 190 degrees F







I also purchased the rear trim piece that fits under the rear bumper cover of the car on the spare tire well from '06 and up Cobalts.




Just a bump since I have pics now.

interesting... it's actually bigger? or do the 2.2's even have one stock?

Though I know it performs a useful function... I hate those things... they always scrape.

The 2.2's do not have a dam/deflector and they are always on for a reason so do not remove if you have one.

And if you are having a problem with them scraping, DO NOT PULL UP OVER PARKING BLOCKS, CURBS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT STICKS UP FROM THE GROUND! LOL! Driving carefully over driveways and such helps also.

I have a base 05 cobalt and it has an air dam on the front, maybe they didn't put it on the newer models probably to save production costs.

I think mine has one too, unless this one is larger or designed differently.

I do not think so. I have checked the new Cobalts at dealerships and they are still not putting the fron air dam on them.

And if you read my first post above the pics, you will know what the function of it is.

I think LS's and LT's have the one on the fascia but not one below the radiator/condenser. And SS's and SS/SC's have the one below the rad/cond but not the fascia one.

That's the setup on the 2 new ones on the lot

The air dam is not very expensive new...call CED at 1 800 441-5150 and order one. They'll also be able to send you the 2 plastic fasteners you need.
