for serious. btw cc08, at a local social me, ss_ry and MSS(w/e numbers he has next to his name) went to, we saw a 4 door base cobalt with a aliumiun case cap sticker, it really made the night for us. so your not the only fucked up one who did that.
atleast yours is off now tho right.

you also want another prime recommendation, get the GMPP touring/sport (w/e you want) exhaust, it sounds good and doesnt restriced air flow at all..

Eventually I'll get the GMPP exhaust. But for now, I need to start saving some money. Spending it too much on the car. But I'm not gonna lower my car. I really rather not. NYC has a very strict noise law so I won't do anything else to my exhaust/header and all that. And there's plenty of members here with loom. It's not like I'm the only one with them. And at the last car show I was at, everyone was digging the loom so I'm gonna keep it.
not lowering is totaly understandable, also look at a TWM short shifter, it really turns our cars into a new one.
**** off , ill get on cod right away

thats fine keep it, you dont need to defend it, if you like it keep it. personally its not my taste because it doesnt match, but if you like it do it. just dont do anything that makes your car "not clean" clean=good

I can kiss my power train warranty goodbye then. I rather wait till my warranty is up before I do that.

a secert truth, hes the first one to ever attempts this.
i ponderd this idea over winter, well two SRI intakes both located on oppisite ends of the engine bay) instead i did research and found out exactly what i posted earlyer in the thread.
nothing is wrong with detail, but going over board can be "annyoing". and im sure you get that word alot around here.

Here is a small lesson in fluid dynamics for you all.
The intake pipe, all of it, is considered a closed pressure vessel from the throttle valve to the filters (both of them in this case). The air pressure within the vessel is constant across the entire pipe. It's the same at the TB, mid length, at either filter, everywhere, all the time. Therefore, the same amount of vacuum pressure is pulling air through either filter.
What determines which filter is supplying more air is based on the flow rate ability of the filter elements. Since there are two different filters being used here, one of them will certainly have a better flow rate then the other. So that one will provide the greater amount of air.
How far the filter is away from the TB has nothing to do with it.
The single biggest effect of this modification is he has doubled the available filtration surface area. This will allow air to pass into the intake with less effort. It won't be terribly noticable however because a single filter already provides very sufficient air flow.
The mixing of the flows and the temperatures will have very little effect, if any.

I stopped laughing on page 2, and finally saw this post. Thanks for explaining "why" it is pointless.

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

Fluids can't compress, air can, so you aren't 100% right, but most engines don't have enough vacuum to compress air coming into the cylinder, but some high compression do!

Liquids can't compress. Fluids are any form of matter that conform to the shape of their container. Air is a fluid. All gases are fluids. Liquids are a type of fluid.
What? That makes no sense.

"A fluid is defined as a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress regardless of how small the applied stress. All liquids and all gases are fluids."
i thought everybody knew this lol this is like day 2 high school chem

Ya, you can keep it. Its fine. It's no worse then what you had before. It's not much better, but certainly not worse.
I doubt you will be able to get the K&N airbox to fit however. It is designed to have the filter in a specific position and yours isn't there. You would have better luck fabbing up your own baffle.
