I don't understand why you think you can't do this.

If you seal the air box on the GMPP intake with a ram air hood it will work. Instead of getting just 5 hp out of an intake you would get 10-15hp with an intake and ram air. It's a decent gain.

 

Or the suncoast hood.


Then again you could get Cobalt Addictions ram air

 

is the suncoast functional?

 

SS/SC:



They sell a CAI that moves the Intake to this location:



2.2 and 2.4:



And the top looks like this:



It routes the air to the location of the airbox. So to answer your question, yes... In fact I think it is the most functional of the hoods out there for us.

 

Wow, I love the hood and the functions.

 

i've loved it since the very first time I saw it. Alot of people downplayed it since it was on a cobalt that was SOOOOOOOOOO overdone. Others have a problem with the price tag. (kinda steep) but I think it is phenomenal.

 

i like the hood but i am not sure if it like it more then the RK hood.

 

I have the RK hood with the gmpp CAI and its a ncie setup the hood feeds the air right to the filts check this pic.

 

i don't know that much about it but what about an air funnel?

 

Haha that's ******* awesome

 

I also tried to come up with a method of using the ram air intake... but I think it is only effective at some high speed like 110 mph, like already mentioned.... I researched it and came up with that fact also, just to confirm.... for me, with the S/C, it would not work as well... it might do more for a n/a engine..... The thought of getting COLDER air through the intake might help though, like the air funnel in the pic.... I tried to think of a way to get the air filter to colder outside air, but it might risk getting soaked in water, would mess with the mass air sensors, and so on.. so probably not worth it??.... How about using some kind of air cooling on a heat exchanger for an extra intercooler or something???

 

For the RL weapon r and the aem can be modified to make a ram air setup. I did it, it was okay sounded like a snake rammed it from in front of the radiator mounted to the bumper foam. Otherwise you can do ram air if you use a k&n apollo filter on your cai.

Um...no. A CAI is pulling from inside the fender, whereas a ram air will be pulling air directly from the atmosphere which is "in theory" colder air than a cold air intake. As long as you're getting lower temp air it should be better than a cai as long as it's not a restrictive setup (ie not filtered at the induction opening). Have to protect from rain.

I believe the CA front mount air intake is closer to a ram air setup due to the mounting location...but it's still restrictive.

Same theory...forcing cool air into the engine bay. It's actually not a horrible idea for an lsj, even if just use for ventilation rather than for intake air. But the cold air needs to be routed into the engine bay.

 

The CA front mount is a joke

 

wow you put a chevy symbol on your g5 gt......

 

Ahahhahaha good catch man

 

i saw that but i assumed he put the g5 gt fascia on a cobalt

 

yeah fascia right

 

Nope its the g5 rk sport front bumper when i bought it they didnt have the other cobalt one. that has the sme look.
