Better MPG!
Just thought I would share my experience with all of you. I recently purchased an Injen SRI/CIA and installed it a while back as a SRI during the winter months. The MPG didn't really change from what it was with the stock intake but the performance increase was noticeable. At the time i was getting around 25MPG City driving. Last week I went and converted it into the CAI with it being nice out now. I know colder air burns better but i was surprised to see that my MPG is up to 29, close to 30 City driving. I was wondering if anyone else noticed this as well

Plus a CAI makes your engine sound like is ripping itself from it's mountings to yell it's fury at the gods!!!!!
Not really but my AEM definitely produces a sound increase in higher RPMS. In idle or normal acceleration driving, still sounds stock and purrs like a kitten.
AFTERMARKET MODS FTW

What GMPP intake do you have. Is it the entire intake or just the filter or what? I have a stock 2.2l and i average 31.5 mixed in the winter, and about 33.5 in the summer. I recently got 38.38 MPG highway when it was 45 degrees F.

constant 32 to 33 mpg in mixed driving, even stay up there if I cruise at 75-80 on the hwy. I want an intake car, I got a dumb ? though I went to gmperformanceparts.com and nothing showed up for cobalt, I believe there is another site for the stuff from gmpp but I do not remember, what is it.

But yesterday, i cruised home on the freeway, resetting right when I got on, and maintained 65-70mph for 18 miles. 39.4mpg baby!! With my new downpipe coming in, I am hoping to get that little extra bit to put me over 40mpg. The Toyota Camrys better watch their ass!!!
