I couldn't tell you! lol. They might appear to be smaller, but they gained power somehow, wether it be in factory tuning or this "smaller" manifold.. I'm the wrong person to ask. I'm fully bolted and i would LOVE a better flowing intake manny for my 2.4 Especially one that will further support my turbo in the near future

 

07 has 173 too, 06 has 171

 

Yea its cause 06 is FTL!! lol j/m but we still make the same power with a smaller mani you'd think the exact opposite

 

The "real" measure would be to run an 06 or 07 against an 08 on a track to see what will happen. Advertised HP FTL!

 

go ahead 08s have hit 14s stock so you 06-07 guys are playing catch up

 

Really? What's the point of getting an SC or TC then...all you need to do to get 14s is buy an 08 Sport. Imagine what they'll do with add-ons!

Can we please stay in the "real world" on-line?"

 

I know my sport is quick for what it is but i doubt it will hit 14s

 

ther are 06's in the high 14's stock. its all in the driver

 

ok do we really have to have this talk again me and 08sport1320 have hit 15 flat and 14.9 in stock 08 sports.

 

with my current bolt ons, when mashing it right around 4500-5000 rpm that sucker pulls pretty hard for a N/A, i molested my buddys 06' with exhaust

 

Get some bolt-ons quick and go harrass some stock SC owners!!!!!!

 

^^^^ it wouldn't be a far cry to do that. most people can't really drive all that well. and when you put that much power to the front wheels then they spin most of the time.

 

That's cause sc's are 2.0's. So the sc is like making it as fast as 2.4 but a little more basically. At least I think??

 

Hey man i was just playin chill out you would beat me remember i'm auto.

 

Ummm...the sc's are significantly faster than the 2.4's.

 

I wasn't offering a challenge (I'm auto too) but a bonified "let's find out what they'll do" with mods. I hate dyno charts -- I found from experience that they can be "adjusted".
In other words if 2 2.4L (06/07 and 08) owners could go to the track put the 1-piece intake on and see if there is a difference between the cars, announce what works and what doesn't for all 2.4L owners. I don't care about bragging rights -- personally I think 2 Cobalts squaring off is the same as cannibalism

 

so true lol yea with your mods though you'd whoop on me lol

 

Well....I would hope so...if it didn't I'd have to sell it in shame

 

yea i can preatty much guarente you would whoop me UNLESS... if i had a RPG or you blew a tire then just maybe then i'd have a chance
