Ok I've been beating myself up since last night.. I was hanging with a friend that has a 06 2.4 cobalt ss. He was cleaning the engine bay when I noticed his intake manifold. Now I have read around the forums many times that our engines (2.2 LAP) have the same intake manifold as the 2.4 .. I parked next to his car and popped my hood open to see if it was true and mine manifold is way smaller. I noticed a yellow smudge on my intake mani and it looks like a mark from a junkyard which makes me think the previous owner of my car pulled a switch on my car. I will post a pic of my manifold tomorrow but can anyone post pics of their LAP manifold? I think they might have replaced mine with.the l61 manifold

 

actually you have the new style 2.4 mani. It is a two piece design. The old intake mani's like your friends is a one piece design. I have pictures of both next to each other somewhere.

 

I was searching and found nothing.. if you coukd oost the pics it would be awesome. I just want to see and make sure mine wasnt switched with a l61 manifold. My car goes through gas quicker than my old l61 g5 so just wondering.

 

I can take a pic later today...mines not on the car though.

 

Here you go

 

I see.. I'll compare it to mine tomorrow and ill also post a pic of I'm not sure

 

both mine are two piece and the le5 is definitely bigger.....

 

The outsid is bigger but tge thin is the insid might hace the same dimensions. Mine looks like yours royce777 so I think im good lol

Idk why my car uses up more gas than my old l61 though

 

i dont think so i noticed a difference as that was the first mod i did on my car....mine was off an 07 though....

 

did you get a tune? And maybe ill install one before my turbo to see if it makes a difference
