thats one way to combat that SAI line problem, which in turn allows you to use any intake you want. and it took maybe a minute. all you need to do is go to autozone, buy a 1 inch breather filter and a bag of like 10 inch zip ties, then just pull the rubber angle off the SAI line and turn it up, throw the little filter on and zip it to the stock airbox screw closest to passenger side. make sure its tight and away from the pulley down below and you're good.

K&N has a claim in their instructions: if you dyno test their intake (with a base dyno of your original intake) within 60 days of purchase and it doesn't provide an increase in HP they will give you your money back! K&N also provides their dyno charts -- go to their website.

K&N works well on my 2.4 and it is LOUD!
Well either way the filter isn't exposed all the way around, therefore, making it more restrictive. Its not speculation, its a fact. Surround something with plastic and it will draw in less air.

save your money...buy the ebay one for 2x$ and then pick up an aem dryflow filter...60$ gives you full cold air...the only difference is you dont have that sticker that says "brand name here"....its all just piping...the filter is what matters.
i have what is stated above, had it for 1.5 years without any problems. ive cleaned the filter once and it wasnt really dirty.

Exactly, there was a post not to long ago, that the Ebay intake actaully caused a decrease in power from stock... It is funny how some think it is just a tube and a filter. There is a lot more than many think that go into it. The dynamics of the air flow is very important to achieve additional HP.

That is a very nice feature Injen did put into their intakes for the 2.2/2.4L Cobalts

Disagree with what was said on GMPP intake. It seals with the hood to keep out exess heat and uses stock intake tube that runs behind headlight for cold air. It was a good intake. Sounded great. Looked great in the engine.

meh, its worked great for me....and there is not alot of ways to design a pipe for intake that incorrectly. the bends are smooth, it bends in almost the exact same places as the other name brands...so get some flow charts and we will talk lol.
