ebay INTake FTW!!!!...CEL on though....and i haven't done the "mod" to it....that requires cutting the tube off thta's inside the filter that would make it all the same size..anyone done that...or heard of it..fixing the CEL issue?
when i got it i hooked it up and everything looked good then when i went to drive it seemed to misfire or something at like 4800 rpms with it on, No CEL tho. its fine now with the stock intake... anyone ever heard of this...
I've had an Injen since July 07. What a piece of garbage. Mounting bracket broke off leaving a hole in the intake tube. I will be switching over to the RAW 3" intake soon. I've heard lots of good things about it.
i'll give you a clear answer on that! i first went to the xtc front mount which was getting direct air from in front of the intercooler, but got tired of putting on the weather cover and stuff. so naturally this intake had the most access to air of any intake you'll find and it still used the stock piping, it also made the blower sound cool too. now i have a k&n typhoon and the difference over that is AMAZING! now i know why k&n is a well known brand! it does better than the front mount. it has to be the metal piping being smoother, insulating the air better and has less kinks in it's shape because the difference is night and day. an intake trumps airbox mod guarenteed.
my k&n did that at first, but i tighted up an over-tightened clamp (yes, i said over-tightened) and it immediately went away.
I'm about to install the K&N intake that the previous owner had on the car before he traded it in. I've read in a few places that cold air intakes tend to lean out the the air/fuel ratio, which can cause detonation. Is this totally true? Wouldn't the O2 sensors be able to compensate? Any info would be greatly appreciated, cause I don't want to do any damage to the engine.

INJEN does not add 17hp to the cobalt ss/sc .... don't believe what you read man. No intake for the ss/sc provides gains of 17hp. The average gain from an intake on the ss/sc is 8-10 whp.

At the cost they would quote you, you'd be better off having someone fabricate you a true CF intake.

im not saying to buy a plastic intake .... i have the rebel intake and i'm very happy with it. all i was trying to explain was that plastic is a better insulator towards heat vs. aluminum or stainless. people on here always have the misconception that aluminum is better than plastic for heat purposes .... they are wrong on that. an aluminum intake with gradual bends and a consistant cross sectional area is better than the stock piping i know that.

Aem
I had an injen but not worth the 500 dollar fine I got. I am selling it and just got my aem today and it's carb legal.
Injen sounded wicked and I hope the aem doesn't let me down. The filter is bigger but I hear that injen sounds the best. Although when I took out my Injen I was not impressed with the scrapes on the intake. I think AEM's design is the most reliable but not the best looking since you cant see it and sounding.
