My car problem :(

I drive a 07 cobalt ss/sc.
I've had my car for more than a year now and I have to say it just doesnt feel the same :\

It has no ***** anymore! Its not as fast as it was before and it doesnt pick up speed as quick. Not only that, but you can hardly hear the super charger anymore, i mean its there but its just not as loud as it was before.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? Like i said it just feels likee alot of the power went away.

Suggestions?

there's a how-to... https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/2-0l-lsj-performance-tech-47/idle-problem-cure-finally-116051/

it's four bolts and a wire harness connection (which really you don't have to remove), and it's off...get a can of throttle body cleaner and in less than 15 minutes she'll run alot better

yup, or at least the airbox mod, which will help it breathe a little better than stock

So true, so true. Or you could try driving a 87whp civic around for a week or 2 then the balt will feel like it used to LOL.
