No sites. If anywhere, it would be on gmperformance.com, but even doing a broad search with the keywork "intake" produced nothing. It's been my experience that gmperformance.com never has any cobalt parts.
It does say on Chevy's site (under cobalt accessories) that it is a dealer installed item. So, my guess is that they are not selling this as an aftermarket part, but rather an OEM part meant to "increase performance and life of the vehicle" as a car care/mantainence product. You may have to call the dealer and get them to track it down.
My advice: GM does good with some parts for the cobalt, but I'd go with an aftermarket intake (AEM, Fujita, or K&N)

An Intake is the safest mod you can do. They will have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the intake caused any malfunction.
If you were doing an engine mod, like a turbo, then you might have to worry. They'd make some ridiculous flow chart linking the malfunction back to the engine mod and make it sound plausible. But you don't have to worry with an intake. An intake sucks in air and reduces intake temperature... thats it. Anything that could go wrong with your car should have nothing to do with something getting sucked into the engine through the intake or temperatures being 30 degrees cooler. Install it correctly and worry not.
