i second that... does anyone here actually have a gmpp intake installed? in fact, what would be awesome is if someone with their K&N and someone with their GMPP each made a video to show them off and posted them

never seen the GMPP installed... sorry i didnt read all the way thru... as long as it bolts to something, its good. and it looks like it has strait pipe throughout. i think either one will give you whatt you want.
just a little sidenote...
IMHO, i would want the space around the filter open for max. airflow, and the GMPP has the little case around it sucking against the hood.. but i think it sucks down into the bumper... that would be more like a CAI not really a SRI, so i would still go with the K&N

i think the GMPP is both, the Box does some what cloes it off from the engine bay, but i think it still connects to the stock ducting from the fender. I do know one thing which is another huge plus of the GMPP intake the RK Sport hood was designed to work with it, so you get a true ram air

go K&N
i have seen all kinds of short rams on cobalts here in town... here is what i have to say
Injen
smashed pipe right before the TB, restricts airflow.
rubs against the hood and front bumper clip
IN conclusion..
K&N, sometimes actually cheaper than the others, for no crimps, no harsh bends, no smashed pipe, heat shield, big filter, no harsh objects inside, all the welds are grinded down... K&N is THE best SRI. period.

oh, did they? i guess i saw one of the older ones. and im pretty sure about k&ns strait pipe being a little less restrictive than the intake's smashed pipe method. meaning more airflow.

I just got rid of my AEM and went with K&N Typhoon Cold Air and there was a huge difference. Granted I have the SS/SC but still, I am sure the K&N for your car will be one of the better ones to get. Rather have K&N than Injen.

The GMPP one is quiet.
Too pricey to.
I have an AEM CAI...way better sound over a SRI
I should take some vids...
I have the K&N in person, sounds close to the videos only louder.

Having to clean your MAF every so often FTL.
Wish we had LSx MAFs...they have a superheated platinum wire to self clean.
