I just got my 08 LT 2.2L and was curious if there was any changes from the previous years model that would make it so i can't use this ? if it is that it'll fit then i am def buying it really soon Does this require professional install for it not to void the warranty or is it something that i can do myself ?

I'm pretty sure you should be fine if this thing fits the 07 base models and 2.4L

Orrrr, you might be the first to find out it doesnt work.

Be careful on getting it for your 08, cause we have the SAI. I have the 07, but same thing. Anyways I called the company and asked them if they made any modifications to accommodate the SAI and the guy I was talking to didn't know, so I'm gonna call back tomorrow. I'll post back up when I find out, cause I really want that intake too.

zackss

it's still damn cheap

filters run about 30-60 themselves depending on the brand

is a k&n filter really as great as they say? im asking would it be benifitial to get the intake a throw a k&n on there?

im going turbo in 2 months or so but im thinking about buying this for the temporary thrill anyways

this will be useful if you decide to build your onw kit, as you will be able to keep the piping with the MAF adapter on it, or if you go and route your piping the way i am, than you can use it as piping for you turbo...check my build thread to see what i mean about the piping, search jn2, ull see my turbo build

im actually going with the garret kit. its a bit more expensive than a DIY solution but garret is a trusted name in my book, I trust them more than I would trust my own abilities obviously, maybe custom build on a project car but this is my DD

Hey Charba951

hear anything from them about the SAI ?

Charba951

No, they were closed for the whole weekend, so i'm gonna call in the morning.

Sai is easy to fix on an intake, just get a small breather filter and ziptie it on the end of the said hose. boon problem solved.


anyways that intake is taking forever to get here..

Whitty

breathers are illegal here in Canada... (or atleast thats what i have been told...) i have no idea why they are though ... ?

Raz

uh... no.

breathers are no illegal in canada. Don't be dumb.

Whitty

I had a Sunfire prior to this car and no one in my area (Nova Scotia) would safety my car with the breather when i had an intake... you live in Alberta and don't have commodities such as safety checks every year.

just received mine today (to canada)!!! very fast shipping only took 1 week and im about to install it in an hour when i get off work

Charba951

I just got off the phone with the guys from advancedjdmparts.com and they said that there should be no problem installing the cai with the sai, and he sais if there is then you can just ship it back within 14 days.

we've addressed this in several threads, there is no problem with installing a CAI on a cobalt with SAI. I am living proof of that with 20,000 miles on mine and not a single CEL related to the SAI system....

Smitty1017

install it, then find someone to flash sai out if u can.

Well I tried to order last night, but got the AVS error message. Called a minute ago and now I have to call my cards bank to get the registration right.

But I will play the game and hopefully get mine soon. This intake looks great in all the photos I've seen.

Hello Room, New here and WOW nice site. Me likes. Anyways I work for a Chevy dealership and did some reasearch on the 2008 Balts and the Cold Air Intake.

(BTW im not here to sell anything i just bout one myself to save on gas)

Anyways, 2007 and 2008 NO difference with the engine at all. 2.2 ecotec that is. Nothing changed.

I orderd one myself today. I really loved the prices you all were talking about before but supply and demad.


Thank you for the oportunity to read before i signed up.


i know im new here but was wondering if there were picks of this intake installed. I did not see any links or anything. Maybe i missed it. sorry

CCBalla10

hey welcome to the site....and if you go back through all the pages on this topic you will see some pics....here are some for you.

dasudevil

wow thats awesome. I cant wait to get it. I had to tell my wife i was getting an xtra 5 miles per gallon. She thinks that stuff is a waist.

TY for the pick and looks awesome once done

joeworkstoohard

while not specifically illegal, you're disableing an emissions control device. that is generally VERY VERY VERY illegal, and for good reason.

says the guy with the catless DP...

pics? lmao.
