hey guys ...ss sc cobalt u seem to be pretty knowledgeable about this mod..but this is to anybody who actully did the mod ..i really want to do this mod but from reading the responses from people who have done it i jus dont want the cel to come on...i went and bought the same filter from pep boys as ss sc cobalt did when u do the first mod if i use that filter, would i have problem if dont disconnect the batt. on the neg. terminal or even if i did disconnect would i still get the cel.....? jus a question

also why dint u have to put oil in the dryflow ? does it have a thicker membrane how is it different then regular air filters

 

where can i get a dryflo and what is the fitment size or r they all the same

 

dry flow is an aem part# 21-2110D it uses a synthetic filter media that doesent need oiling, in fact oiling will ruin it.

you can order them from jegs, summit,etc about $45

as for the pep boys filter, do not over oil it, keep it way light and let it sit for a day or 2 before you use it after you oil it. the problems with this stuff stems from the oil getting on the MAF wire.

 

thanks for the great how to the csr gets up qucik as hell nd the s/c screams and gets attention

 

no problem!

 

I GOT A CEL WITH THE PEPBOYS FILTER...BUT WHEN I PUT ITON THE OBDll SCANNER IT JUS SAID ERR ..IT DID NT GIVE ME A CODE IMMA TRY THE DRY FLOW

 

you probably got P0171, sounds like your ob2 scanner isnt compatible with the SS

 

I did that too....sounds great doesn't it.

 

Ss Sc Cobalt ..After I Get The Dry Flow And Put Thet On Would I Have To Reset The Whole System Again OR WOULD I HVAE TO GO GET THE PCM REFLASHED BY THE DEALER MY SS S/C COBALT IS BONE STOCK EXCEPT FOR THE AIR BOX MOD....and That Is The Code I Got Any Input On Y?

 

just have to clear the code

 

Ok Kool I Jus Keep Reseting It Now...would That Have An Effect On It Until I Get The Dryflow?

 

with the aem part number 21-2110D does the bottom of the air filter box go back on or do u have to modify it to fit... i know to tighten it u need to put a hole but will the bottom go back on??

 

bottom will go back on if you want, and dont worry so much about the code GM itself said it doesnt affect performance, just annoying

 

i live in winnipeg and if u ever been up here its scary to leave ur air box that exposed lol....if its not water its 10 feet of snow or a blanket of mosquitoes or dust from all the construction i think it would just be the safer bet!

 

Ya know with that being said I wonder if GM will put out an Update to keep this from being an issue. I mean they at the moment don't have a need or real benefit to do that but I wonder if folks barked often and loud enough something would get done. That is the only thing keeping me from going with an aftermarket intake.

 

I have the bulletin here from GM and they are working on it

But Hell is due to freeze over then this update should be ready

 

Great info man! Thanks! Let us know if/when they actually get it done.

 

My check engine light went on after installing mine did this happen to any of you?

 

damn, that sounds crazy lol.

 

did you over oil the filter?

 

I really dont think so but the same thing happened to my friend with his car. Is this happening to anyone else? Also am i throwing the oxygen sensors off and thats why the check engine light goes on?

 

get the code then we will know what it is.... BTW there is a reflash that supposedly fixes this dated 6/21

 

How do i get the code and where do i get the reflash. Also when installing my filter i didnt put the cover back on the bottom of it that was under the stock filter is that a problem?

 

Now my rpm's arent going up instantaneously when i hit the gas pedal it waits then goes up is this due to the filter can anyone help me?

 

go to autozone or something and they can use a code scanner to get the code.
