K&N = waste of money. i'd suggest a jdm cai, but they're out of stock at the moment.. www.advancedjdmparts.com or check ebay for one. or the classifieds on here. if you're going short-ram you'll want a ram-air hood or some kind of custom ram-air setup so you dont suck in hot engine air.

K&N - $285ish after looking at about 3 different sites; SRI only. If you want cold air out of this you have to either buy a ram-air hood which is like $500-600, or you can build your own with a scoop and a drill.
If you WANT a short ram, i'd recommend getting one that can be converted to cai as well.
Injen - $240-270 cai; can also be sri
JDM - $50 cai; can also be sri

go for it, but why would the adapter come with the 2.4 mani on gmpd? its not an aftermarket site, its a GM part. they are assuming that when you buy the 2.4 mani, its going on a 2.4, and no adapter is needed. the adapter is fabricated by CED, i doubt gmpd would have it.

C.E.D. created that adapter plate so that 2.2 owners could do the swap without throwing any C.E.L. (Before we had tuning for the 2.2's)
You can bolt on the 2.2 TB to the 2.4 intake manifold without that plate but tuning will then be required.
Otherwise you get a C.E.L. and LIMP mode

I have to agree
