Took mine off for a day, noticed nothing other than it sounded louder and even cheaper. I hate loud little cars and it made mine sound rice. Put it back on. Ahh quiet.

justlikejsh

ok well i finally got it out of there today, it took me forever but it was something to do. The car sound is much deeper. Thanks.

then dont get a cold air intake.. you might really sound like a ricer then...

What I did to my stock airbox was take off the silencer (I have long, lanky arms so reaching those bolts and screws wasn't hard, but **** did my shoulders get tired). I removed the K&N stock filter out of the air box, I cut/dremeled out the support for the tube (that plastic piece that connects the intake tube to the box for support) added a section of CAI rubber tubing, cinched that onto the box with a circular clamp, cinched the other end onto a 60 degree pipe going down into the fenderwell and then I took the cheap way out and cinched a Spectre Dry Flow cone to the bottom of that. Worked out great, but sounds more ricer than my old short ram, breathes a hell of a lot better too, now I get like 30-32 MPG average and its a technical cold air intake.

gtdeluca

how do you get the last bolt off under the intake?? i cant seem to reach it because there is very little room

damage82

there is one that does not come off, you just pull off

gtdeluca

took a lil while but when i got it done it was great. will it b ok if i jus leave that hole there or will water get into my engine?

mr.right

i was going to do this, until i read it makes it much louder.


i daily drive this thing, and a louder car is the last thing i want.

Toasted08cobalt2.2

did it to mine today i love it but it was a lil bit harder than i thought it would be, but i should have done mine in daylight lol it might have made it a lil bit easier

It's not obnoxiously loud. It sounds nice, almost intake-like. Not quite as loud though....

Bretikus

hey i got the GM intake kit, do you guys think this would also help with the intake?

nhcobalt

thanks for the ideas now throttle response will be much better

watch out with getting the k&N, tons of people on here have had trouble with oil from it hitting the MAF dealio and causing a check engine light. I got the Cold Air Intake from ebay for $60 and this is what it looks like

**** this thing is a pickle to get out, i unbolted the first bolt under the headlight and gave up

I just took my intake resonator/silencer out this weekend and there is ABSOLUTELY NO INCREASE in sound that it makes, or throttle for that matter. What could be wrong? The only thing I can think of is that I might need a new air filter (I have the stock airbox). The filter is kind of dirty. The filter has never been changed and the car has almost 20,000 miles. The car doesn't feel sluggish though.

outtamymind

you won't really notice anything until you go over half throttle and really get into it. cuz i have removed the lower silencer and thats what it does for me you notice it through shifts and when your given er. its silent when your just casually driving.

Get a high flow filter too. Its a nice deep tone in the exhuast. And you can hear the air certain times coming into the airbox

Well i went out and took that piping out of there. Its kinda a pain but if you just use a bit of force it comes out, went for a ride and wow you notice the noise difference... its got kind of a deeo tone to it. Sounds pretty mean... i wanna hear it from another car to see what other people are hearing

LScoupeTUNER

I took mine out about two weeks ago and I love the increase in sound when getting on it hard from 2nd to 3rd hell even 4th you can tell a difference. I started taking it off thinking it was going to be a piece of cake then found out I could not get the damn headlight out until finally wiggling it out and kind scratched my bumper quick 3m scratch remover fix. Then the wheel well took a lil while but other than that pulled the huge plastic **** out with no problems. Put all back together and took test drive. I love it! sounds really good. Now I am getting the intake from AdvancedJDMParts.com

Anyone have this CAI and do you recommend it???

blu3_v1p3r

I know there are a few people that have that CAI but noody is going to recommend it becasue ita not a big name, i would say just spend the cash and see what happens if its not that great hell it was only 40 some $$. And hell its got to be better then that big ass air box on top of the TB...

DallasCobalt

I HAD that intake. I recommend it for the price. It threw no CELs, and worked just fine. Only reason I don't have it anymore was because I traded it for projectors and then bought a used AEM. If you do buy the eBay intake, I suggest buying the AEM Dryflow filter for it.

Cool sounds really good. I might just get the intake and get a good filter so it looks big name lol. As long as it works well I dont care what ppl think.
