holy cow!!!!!
just got done installing my injen sri. all i can say is wow. between the corsa and sri i can really feel a difference. must be honest i was a little worried after i installed just the corsa and got a little gain and a lotta sound, but now its freaking awesome. i gotta tell you guys its worth spending big bucks and getting your moneys worth.

Always worth the money, good to hear you enjoy, now imagine adding headers(when they come out...) and hi flow cat!!! U really feel a difference if u put them on all at once, I did with my Accord! so much better...but U might as well wait for turbo, then ull jizz urself!!! Sir!

yeah i just recieved my injen intake today..only took 3 days to get here! it took like 2 hours to install and i put it on as SRI..i just drove around the block with it and i could hear it sucking all that air tomorrow i will really test it out
#8
Yea intakes create a sweet ass sound...mine...****.....if i hit the pedal and let it go quick...sweet ass sucking sound...even though that sounds bad, it sounds GREAT!! sometimes sounds like a turbo, just cuz of a lil whistle...but w/e...cant wait to sell my car and get a cobalt ls...and work on that...12k....gettin 7500 for it...900 extra parts...8600 down payment at least...only 3400 more to pay for it completely!
Damn, so many things I want to do to my next car...but my rents will be pissed if I void warranty....
Hey, even though this car is like 1 year old, any engine problems? besides clutch going?

yeah it took me a second to find it too. i knew i didnt need it but its always good to know if you ever decide to go cai. they should have said in the directions the spacer is for cai setup only. i can see some ******* dropping the spacer in and driving off with the car on the sri with the spacer just sitting in there.....lol

where is the best place to get an Injen sri?......and about how much would it run?.....i was worried about the warranty thing, but now i realize that i could just swap it out with the box in a warranty type situation....

i would guess here that it is the combination of the intake and exhaust that adds the power. usually there isnt a major difference between one or the other. if you werent expressing interest in a turbo, i would recommend a nice ceramic header.

As do gains...
am I thinking of something else?

CAI's advantage is that it is sucking in "cold air" from outside instead of the heated air from under your hood.
Most people go SRI because they are scared water will get in their CAI but I don't think that is a problem with a Cobalt's setup unless you literally get a flood or drive the car into a lake.

i doubt i would gain any more hp/tq from cai setup. i installed it shrot ram cause it didnt involve ripping the face off my car and imo it's just as good. throttle response is on the money now and it revs quick low to mid range rpm which has helped me on the line.
