Alright, so first off ill start off why I used it.

2008 hhr 2.2 fully built, 60s, walbro 255, tvs 2.6 , header downpipe , methanol 10gph and a custom Cai routed behind bumper cover.... Well first off the intake is a 3in but the car was getting to much bypassed air, so we had it go down to a 2.5 where the maf was. Well that still had skew trims, and would never get the correct percentages. So i asked the owner of the vehicle to purchase a 2.5 air straightner from treadstone so I can get unskewed trims.

So I had him purchase it. I assumed id be able to get trims down within 3 logs. Well ill put it this way from the base to now its taken 1 to get trims at 6% from 18% which it would have taken me quite a few logs without straightner..... So i highly recommend it to anyone.....
Ecspecially if you are a full on custom build.

 

Nice!

I've had one sitting around I bought from cmiller a while back now. I wanted to try installing it before the MAF in my K&N SRI, but got scared to death I wouldn't find a good enough way to mount the thing to keep it from getting ingested or something.

 

Install it in the actual piping. Cut the pipe about a inch or so from maf and put comb in there make sure you epoxy it good.. and put a coupler over it.... Epoxy epoxy lol..

 

I know this HHR

 

Lol we both do hahaha...

 

Hmmm might look into this

 

I want to see a video of this thing, I bet it's a complete beast.
Trans is holding up well?

 

Built trans haha. I thi.k we blew somthing within it.. lol it was fine then all of a sudden it started doing what the in built one did... It just gets stuck and won't do ****. Even if I tune the tranny to stock settings itll do it..... Raise pressure, rpm liniter rev or speed all. It worked great for two. months lol.. then bam. Junk haha. I think the tranny is getting to hot

 

The Treadstone MAF Straightner is one of the first things I bought before I installed the Dejon SRI. Wasn't sure if it was worth the money or not...gload to hear that it is!

 

pics of intake setup on this car?

 

Lol he lives in alabam. He had it done out there somewhere. It was skewein results badly

 

Damn... that's shitty. I know the feeling. I'm on my third i think I'm going to get a bigger Trans cooler to put on the front too.

 

What kind of tranny does an auto HHR have? Is it the same as the auto 2.2L/2.4L Cobalts?

 

Yes, this last one was.completely built.. so I'm thinking its a heat thing...

 

Did he even have a tranny cooler on it?

 

Yes, but I beleive its a small one. I have seen it since he got it

 

2 questions. I just got BYT tuned a few days ago. If i install this air straightener should i get retuned or do you guys think I'll be good to go? Also, i have the k&n SRI, does anyone know offhand what size air straightener would fit best?

 

Yes you would need retuned if you did a air straightner .. I beleive 2.5 in not 100% sure..

 

Damn that sucks. I won't be able to get back to nick for at least a month. He's crazy busy for the next few weeks at least

 

Will it hurt anything if i don't get my tune tweaked for the airflow straightener right away? I'm assuming not but I've been wrong before. Haha

 

Yes, it'll Skew your trims.

 

My trims aren't exactly steady how it is. They'll bounce around +/- 10 or so. Do u think it would make it worse?

 

And you just got tuned. Wtf. Take it back and see whats up.

 

K&n SRI, that's what's up. Haha. I guess my sig doesn't show up when i post from my phone.

 

Did u get tuned for the Sri? If you did your trims should be close to 3% most of the time.
