2.2l Lap -- Sai?
Did GM put the SAI on any '09 2.2L LAP engines?

SAI exhaust manifold has a valve assy sitting on top of it and no company makes a header that replaces it. Also, the SAI has a tube running from the pump to the air filter box...not all aftermarket CAI/SRI intakes have a connection for it, so it limits your choices if you don't want to just stick a little filter on the end of it.

nope, you dont haz it unless they made it look different on the LAP, which i doubt. exhaust manifold shots would be the final factor to be positive, but im willing to bet you're SAI free

No SAI in those pictures. If you had SAI there would be a valve in the red-circle (1) and a tube in red-circle (2):

well it seems like the easiest way to get rid if this problem is to just throw a filter on that ugly ass tube and hide it somewhere after you put your intake on.
