When I had a 2.2 I first bought an Injen intake because I liked that you could switch between short ram and cold air. But I bought it used and it never worked right. I think there was a leak around the MAF. So I ended up buying the K&N and it was awesome. Loved that thing. Now I have a K&N on my LNF.
And yes it would be the Typhoon, they only make that one or an OEM replacement drop in filter for our cars.

The stuff either I used or would use if I could do it again:
Header: (out of stock at the moment.) ZZPerformance - Ecotec Shorty Header #ZZ-ECTSHDR
Downpipe: (catted because emissions is a thing in TX if I ever move there) ZZPerformance - 2.5 inch Stainless Cobalt/Ion Downpipe #ZZ-E25DP
Intake Manifold: 2006-2007 2.4L probably from a G6 or 2.4 Cobalt.
Throttle Body: 2008 or newer 2.4L 6-pin http://www.ebay.com/itm/08-09-10-11-CHEVROLET-SATURN-PONTIAC-BUICK-GMC-TERRAIN-Throttle-Body-2-4-2-4L-/230949818468?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AEquinox&hash=item35c5ae9064&vxp=mtrIntake: K&N does good.
Resonator: http://shop.zzperformance.com/store/...Resonator.aspx My magnaflow has gotten tons louder and raspier after almost 3 years.
Muffler: Meh whatever. I would probably buy the twin loop muffler I have now again strictly for the looks I get from people.

Oh and just fyi, if you think you want to go for big power gains, the 2.2L with full bolt ons and tune is still slow.
It takes a supercharger or turbo to get over 200whp.
So to go fully bolted you would be spending about the same as a full supercharger setup.
If I did it again I would have saved for the super.

If you want nothing but power, by all means supercharge it and don't go over 250-300hp. But if you want a peppy gas saver by all means mod your 2.2! I optimized my DFCO a bit with HP Tuners and holy crap the difference it makes in mpg. I can romp around and still get 35-40mpg. Gonna try modding the TCC lockup at closed throttle next.
