Hi guys this is ownedbyagirl?'s boyfriend.

I have a question.... In the 2.4L Cobalt the intake is on the front. I was thinking get a 3 inch tube, Bent it and connect it to the stock air box. As she just bought a K&N replacement filter.

She knows that she won't see a huge increase in HP or Economy unless she goes with the Cold Air Intake.

That a side I was thinking would this clean up some restriction?

I was thinking it would be temporarily fix. Since the MAF is connected to the Box part.


Please let me know your Input on this small MODIFICATION.


Again ,

Throttle body with Bent 3 inch tube to Air box with K&N Replacement filter.

Could this be less restrictive?

 

its been done, i actually did it wayyy back in the day.. your better off just saving up for an actual intake

 

I asked if it was less restrictive. Also Did you notice any difference in throttle response?

Also It would be a cheap fix untill we / she gets the money for a true CAI.

 

it may be slightly less restrictive yes, you could the intake quite a bit more after i did it.. heres a thread i made on it..

How to make a custom intake utilizing stock airbox


but just being honest with you, just keep it stock until she gets an intake.. saving up pays off

 

kind of off topic but... padlock your cars looks damn good

 

Thanks!

me thinks photoshoot sometime??? if your from southern MN that is

 

Just pull the resonator off. Quick and simple. Makes it sound a bit better.

 

What about this guys?
- LE5 High Flow Intake Tube #06-02-00690

What if I get this then hack saw the MAF adaptor and then on the end of that put a cone filter on!?

 

You're better off using that as-is.

 

Where is the resnoator located?

 

underneath the passenger side headlight basically

 

Can my boyfriend take it out?

Will water come up to the air box?

 

It's easy to take out.

You won't have any problem with water unless you try to cross a river.

 

We just bought the intake tube form ZZP 1 hour ago.
Can't wait to put it in!

 

Update: Boyfriend took out the silencer thing.

I took it for a test drive and its sooooounds soooo AWESOME.
FOOT RESPONSE IS BETTER BY 10 - 15%
Pick up and go way better!

I recommend doing it!

 

Boyfriend Installed the High flow tube.

Wow what a difference.
