Newbie G6 owner
Hey everyone, thought I'd drop in and say hi. I have a 2006 G6 2.4L . Im also on G6 performance, but very few of them have the 4 cylinder models like mine. Seems like theres a lot more here. I'm also happy to find out theres more mods (headers/cams/ECU, etc) than I thought. Need to get this beast of mine movin a little faster 
Does anyone know if the intake and headers for the cobalt fit the G6? I know the 2.2 Eco intake fits my car but I dont know if there is the same clearance for the exhaust. Does anyone have some under hood pictures of their 2.4 with an intake an any other mods they can post?

i didnt even know the G6 came with the 2.4 to be honest...
as far as bolt on mods..yes they will fit on the ENGINE...now lining up with everything else is a different story.

Thanks for the welcome
Yes I was really interested in the cams, what are the specs (duration, lift etc) and whats the price tag on those bad boys?

) and I was on a Team near Chicago.They all mostly had LS1's (Including my girlfriend) so the VP used to call my car an "LT_Junk" kind of a joke since I was the "ugly duckling". But I spanked him on the highway once he got his 4.10 gears :-P. Anyhoo, I got the G6 and the "Junk" thing just kinda stuck. Sad huh.Oh, and do they give any cam specs? I really dont want to get cams if I dont know at least the duration, life, and LS angles.

welcome to the site, i dont see why the headers and cai wouldnt fit, G6 are pretty nice cars, my aunt has the 3.9GTP 6spd. how serious are you about performance? cause i know theres a few places working on turbo kits for the 2.4's dont know much about them but i am sure you can get it to work on the G6 with minor mods/fabing

wow your right, I forgot about the Ions too! LoL. Well, I am serious about performance but I have very little money till I get promoted. The solstice kits would work on the 2.4L but the Ecu I think is the biggest hurdle.

its auto
Im thinking of a 5 speed swap, I know some of the work would be custom. Until then Im gonna find a shift kit and Im gonna get that Trans Pressure Controller. Or w/e its called. Im basically taking over a new store, but they're hiring on a new GM. So if I end up proving myself better than the new GM (which I will most definately) I could be bumped up from a Supervisor to an Assistant Manager. So, a little of both.
