Exactly. But however since the SRI Is sucking in warmer air (much more cooler when i get a heat shield) it won't be as cool as if just having a CAI. So it's like a coolish warm mixture.

Vortex FTMFW!!! Tornado in the intake! That sounds awesome!

lol...you are way off on this. the air is definitely only going to enter through the closest point to the throttle body...once it is sucking in at the SRI, there simply wont be any vacuum left to make any difference with respect to the CAI section of it.

To CC08: I highly suspect you would see a higher intake air temperature using the SRI with CAI rather then using just the CAI alone.

idk man, i think ur wrong, if the SRI is sucking in air, wont is suck from the CAI too cuz the CAI is inbetween the SRI and TB

chevy cobalt 08

But the CAI isn't as loud as the SRI I didn't like that it bothered me.

you should put a butterfly valve in there, then when you hit 4k, switch to cai, itll be like
VTAK YO!!

nikebaseballx00

will it be as good as a CAI, no

will it be better than a SRI, yes

so you have something that sounds better than both

and is in the middle performance wise

aveoturbo

too much thought into an intake. me thinks if this was a great idea that intake companies would have already designed these. will common sense prevail?

+1 for creativity tho!

chevy cobalt 08

That's good enough for me...

07MONTECARLO_SS

you should run dual EGR valves too, custom, it will add HP!

jlmd

Sorry, you're wrong.

If you want the noise the way you want, stick to SRI only.

chevy cobalt 08

whats that

jlmd

I'd BET that performance would suffer from this. Just a hunch...but he'll never test it so who cares.

07MONTECARLO_SS

Fellas, it will suck from both, but you are mixing warm and cold air together. so you have Effectivly invented the WAI (Warm Air Intake)

chevy cobalt 08

Hey I aint gonna just throw away the money I spent for the pipes I might as well use them.

chevy cobalt 08

So in theory shouldn't that be in between CAI and HAI (hot air intake) aka SRI And get in between performance?

07MONTECARLO_SS

im sure this system will be sweet in the snow, in all seriousness, i would run a butterfly valve and then you could select what system its running on.

jlmd

That's a very optimistic way of looking at it lol

The reality is, you would need a scan gauge and measure your IAT's with SRI, CAI, and your brain child youve got there...see which are lower.

chevy cobalt 08

You know that's actually a good idea now that I think about it. Where could I get one and do I need like a certain size or w/e?

When I said I noticed a difference with CAI everyone said it was in my head....

chevy cobalt 08

I think I had better throttle response with SRI to be honest.... I mean between just CAI and SRI btw. Right now I have that better throttle response again. But if now my intake is louder than when it was just sri, then shouldn't that mean it's grabbing air from both?

no need to start calling a SRI intake a name you found on wikipedia.

this mod is as effective as 3' exhaust, your disturbing the air flow.

do you know how corvettes do it? two filters on seperate sides of the bumper, both drawing in on-coming cold air, it works because their throtle body is bigger and can accept a larger increase in air mass. the LE5 TB however can not, so really your jamming up the boys at the front gate.

ever watch simpsons, you know the episode where mrburns gets tested and turns out he has every disease possible, and the illistration the doctor uses is all of these diseases getting stuck at the door, yeah thats your intake situation right now, and could also be used as a metaphor

of course you did, here your harming your throtle repsponse because of my "door" situation, try sticking to one (in my opinion stick with the CAI) and remember this advice is coming from a person who has the same engine as you, spends alot of time reading about said engine, has a SRI intake, and has pondered the idea of a twin intake system, yeah...its pointless. nuff said.

chevy cobalt 08

soo.. I guess I should just go back to SRI then. I'm not happy with the CAI, cause it doesn't have that aggressive growl anymore when I get on the throttle. (I'm listening to you this time except choosing SRI cause I want that loud growl)

Projekt

ok thats not what i said at all, but if you want to go for it. i own a SRI intake and personaly i like it because its the only intake designed for our engine. do what you want.

aswell for warranty purposes, your warranty would be A"void" with this summit racing conversion.

DeftonesFan867

Hmmmmm...

chevy cobalt 08

yep... true true. Well finally thank you for not being a ***** and this time I will take your advice, and just go back to GMPP SRI. At least now I still have the option to turn it back to a CAI whenever I want which I guess is a plus.

Omg...
