Has anybody on here ordered the gmpp performance air intake system from Cobalt Performance Air Intake Kit 17800653 - Crate Engine Depot

If so have you ever taken it to the dealer and let them install it?

 

Why the hell would you need a dealer to install an intake for you? A toddler could do that.

 

I want the dealer to do it so that they can warranty it

 

As long as it's installed right, it shouldn't matter whether you installed it or they installed it.

 

The difficulty on how to install shouldn't be that bad. I also heard this is k&n typhoon intake a good one or is injen better?

 

Yep, intakes are quite possibly the easiest mod to do yourself. As far as K&N vs. Injen goes, everyone will tell you something different. It's mostly personal preference. Gains from intakes are pretty miniscule to begin with (Unless you do the ram air mod), so get what you prefer. I would go with an Injen CAI if I had to choose from those two, but in reality I went with the GMPP intake. Fits perfectly on your car as long as you don't have SAI and it doesn't affect your warranty in any way. You also get that great engine noise you want, better throttle response, etc.

 

I have one on mine...one of the only mods I did to my daily driver. Makes a pretty good difference with the VVT engine, and EASY to put on

 

I would suggest the Injen only because it includes tubing for both short ram and cold air style. Just get an AEM Dry-Flow filter though. 99% filtration. Instead of 95% for a K&N..

 

I would do a cold air intake and run it down to my bumper but my neighbor hood doesnt quite hold water that well and like to flood alittle

 

If you feel that water intake is an issue, definitely get the SRI. And don't pay the dealer 60+ to install it. You can do it yourself in 10 minutes.

 

personally i prefer k&n but thats me

 

I think i'm gonna stick with gmpp air intake because it will only take a few minutes to install like everyone said. Plus i heard it sounds good at wot

 

Well if I was u I would choose injen since u could switch from cai to sri n if there's a problem wit ur car keep ur stock intake box n put it back so it dont mess wit ur warranty

 

All intakes only take a few minutes to install if they're run as SRI.

 

Then if he chooses Injen what are the differences btw SRI and CAI ? Is it all about the look or it really does a difference. I always thought it was only the look but im not sure.

 

The SRI has half the tubing and keeps the filter under the hood. In the passenger-side front corner. This is better for low and mid power-bands. The CAI has the full tubing, and puts the filter under the passenger-side fender-well. This is better for overall power increase, however your low-end torque often decreases. It really all depends on the kind of driving you do. If you do mostly highway, go for the CAI. But if you're mostly around town, go SRI. I've run both. I like the power the CAI gives you, but it kills your throttle response. Especially with an auto. With a 5-speed, you're probably best with CAI all-around..

But whatever you do, get an AEM Dry-Flow air filter. Seriously. 99% filtration. Nothing else comes close.

 

Nice explanation whiteboy really liked it. Will look foward to Injen cause switching from SRI to CAI in no time looks like something useful. Mostly with that winter and all that calcium they put on the roads, I dont want that to even have a chance to go on my filter. I dont park my car in a garage all winter so I think this is my best choice.

 

Exactly. No problem. I run mine all year, and i've done so both ways. Good luck.

 

Ok i ordered the intake from crate engine depot because from what i heard it sounds amazing when it's at wot

 

Yeah man, intakes help with alot. MPG, throttle response, etc. Especially if you still have a stock exhaust, it'll be very light and mellow.

 

I'm looking foward to see what this intake can do. what kind of catback do you think sounds good with it

 

This the combo kit !! Do you know the part # since u have it!!

I need it badly really, and do u think the 2.0L injen with fit on a 2.2L ?

should no?

 

I suggest gmpp catback or magnaflow

 

If u mean intake tubing, it wont fit since da 2.0 intake tubing is on da driver side and 2.2/2.4 intake tubing is on da passenger side

 

A guy that i know know is selling a megan racing catback exhaust but it came off his 92 240sx do you think an exhaust shop could bend the pipeing on it to fit my car?
