So I made a SRI/CAI hybrid. It's both!!!! (Y pipe connecting both) AND IT'S LOUD AS HELL!!!!!! Now all I need is a heat shield from K&N to complete it! You can't really see the CAI since of course it's in the fender but it's down there!! I'm using the gmpp intake filter for the CAI.

That's................... unique?

so what did u just branch one air filter down in the wheel well area and then another up top?

chevy cobalt 08

Thanks. Now I can enjoy the benefits of both SRI and CAI!

Yep! Does anyone know where I can get just a heat shield from K&N? And if it will even work? If not is there maybe something else I can use or even make?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of doing that intake in the fender? LOL

chevy cobalt 08

No? It's still pulling cool air from the fender...

Does the SRI cause less vacuum on the CAI against water?

chillfactor

looks like it would just bypass the filter in the fender and use the sri since its the closest to the tb

chevy cobalt 08

It shouldn't matter I have the cai raised up high enough to prob never get any water on it at all unless I go thru a flood then maybe.

I don't know about that, it's louder than when it was just SRI so it's gotta be pulling both.

I forgot your car had blue tubes. Hahahah, in one picture it looks like a alien.

do you get a check engine light?

chevy cobalt 08

nope

thats actually pretty cool cause if your filter does get wet in the fender then it will get air from the top filter....great idea imo!

chevy cobalt 08

Exactly!

FASTL61

its like a cooler looking bypass valve used on alot of imports...

I doubt he'll get a check engine light from two filter, I have the CA front mount CAI and the filter is freaken huge and mounted right where it would get the most air and i don't have problems out of it.

Dude, if you have a dyno near you. Try a run with just the sri on there, then with the cai on there, then with both.

If you did this, you would be like setting the groundstone for a shitton of people.

chevy cobalt 08

I understand that the air now will never be as cool as just a CAI but it will still be pretty cooler air than a regular SRI especially when I get a heat shield for it. I guess a medium temp.

I would if I had the money Right now my dad's been screaming at me to stop spending money on my car cause I'm not saving any money and going broke

Borderlin3

Well you probably spent like $50. for the splitter, the extra pipe and the filter.

chevy cobalt 08

Actually I had the splitter pipe and filter sitting in my garage for a long time from the taurus. I did however spend money to make the CAI. the hybrid conversion was free

nikebaseballx00

thats kinda a good idea, im looking to make my own in the near future and i might go this route lol mainly cuz i like lots of noise and funtionablity

**** i have too many things to do to my car and not enought cash, if only i had 8k sitting next to me i would be set

chevy cobalt 08

I got the GMPP exhaust on my future list and that's performance. Once my warranty is up I'll tune and do other things.

i was just messing with u, **** mines stock haha but im only 15 so that explains a lot

wont there be alot of turbulance when the two airstreams meet.
