where the hell is the third nut holding the air box on??? i got 2 and i was trying to rip the **** out....pissing me off bad. if anyone can please help me out and let me know i would appreciate, before i break something

 

it is above the one at the front of the car. its hidden and kind of tricky to get at

 

Hey here is another website.. but they may ahve to special order teh part witch will take 1 till 2 weeks.. im still waitin on mine.

Yea there are three nuts holding the stock airbox on, but after literally reinstalling it half a dozen times, i just used one of the nuts and it held it in place fine.

Didn't help that i lost two of them too :S

 

haha i left one out. it wasn't worth putting it back in.

 

i took the bottom of my airbox off and wired the filter in just so i could take it for a buzz around the street....i didnt notice a difference in throttle responce or power like some of you guys are claiming, but the s/c was loud!

anyway its a great how to with great instructions.

 

you need a better flowing filter

 

Oh and a quick suggestion for anyone installing just the K&N hi flow filter and worrying about oil getting on your maf.

Before installing the K&N filter, let it sit in front of a floor fan (on high setting) for a little while. At least 30 minutes and occasionally rotate it. I let it sit while accessing my airbox and removing the screws from the airbox cover.

This is a quick and effective way to dry off some of that oil that can be so annoying to our cars.

I did this and absolutely no CEL after 2000 miles

 

ya black supa charged is right.. u need a better flowin filter like an AEM filter or a K&N filter.. u will hear it and feel it.. but its up to u if u want to half ass the old filter in there.. good luck bud.

 

well my intentions werent to half ass it....i was just bored so i gave it a try.


im going to give it a shot with a better flowing filter....as soon as the snow melts....

 

yeah i finally found that tricky third nut...really makes the supercharger whine. only this is that once i got it on and started the car i gave a it a few revs and noticed there was black smoke puffing out the exhaust. it went away after drving for a while, but i dont know what woulda caused it

 

has anybody else noticed their gas milage go down the *******? ever since i did this mod. i cant seem to keep any gas in the tank.

 

I just did the modification today, using the AEM dryflow filter. Before I put the airbox back in, I saw that I could fit the bottom lid of the airbox back on over the AEM filter. But I noticed that many have left the lid off altogether.

Since I can fit the lid back on, should I go ahead and do it? I didn't put it on today, and I have fallen in love with that whiiiinnneee, so I don't wanna lose any of it by putting it back on, but on the other hand, I don't want to worry about driving through puddles.

So does it matter if I leave the lid off or not?

 

putting the lid on will probably get rid of the whine and probably restrict airflow a little bit.
you shouldnt be driving through that much water anyways

 

any1 know a link where i cud buy the K&N filter for the cobalt ss/sc at the cheapest price?...or other filters that product the same results as the K&N filter but its cheaper?

 

a filter is pretty much a filter... the only "different" one is the AEM dryflow... all the others out there are oiled filter elements don't matter the name brand...

 

o0o ok..so wutz the diff. then?....n does it produce the same performance?

 

performance will be the same across the board... its just your personal preference.

 

any suggesttions?

 

I used the pep-boys brand filter mentioned in the how-to... it's held up fine so far... but I am planning on changing it this summer.

 

i'm still waitin on my AEM filter.. they told me they still have not got it in, and its been like 2 weeks lol this company is bull ****! dont buy anything from nolimit motor sports, they take a fu*** month to get anything, lol Durty what it cost u to do ur pepboys mod?

 

by Durty I'll assume you mean me... heheh

the pep-boys brand filter mentioned into the above how-to is like $25

 

yes yes the Durty Comment was to you LOL and thanks for the info..

 

Just did mine. I used the AEM 21-2110dk "drop-in" (uses same opening as stock, and will fit with airbox cover on), drilled a hole for hose clamp and left the bottom off the air box. Wow - big difference in performance. It doesn't bog down when I floor it - and it boosts higher too! (Not to mention the whine). Oh, and for those who are interested - if I drive it the same as before, I get no gas mileage change. But, since I drive it to listen to that whine - economy is going down haha.

 

ahh man im still waitin for mine to come in!! but i just hooked up some sub's to my car!! so i can vibrate the car next to mine :P and or make the girlys horny in mine :P hahah glad to hear ur car is runnin awesome "Thought" ~~!!! ttyl guys/ girls if there is any :P
