Chrome Intakes on Ebay for 09+

I sent a message to Chrome Intakes on EBay to ask if a CAI was in development for the 2010 yet. This is what they said.

I just switched over from the SRAI to the CAI, I agree, the CAI is better, any intake that fits a Aveo should fit fine, same engine and engine bay. I got mine from CHROMEINTAKES $65 shipped and it fits perfect, looks good too. Check the pics of mine and other menbers under CAI forum search.

U can turn it easily into a CAI with inside fender mounted filter by going to Autozone and buying some parts from Spectre Ram air Systems, its quite affordable too or just by a extesion pipe on ebay.

ive been riding around orlando and tampa now for 6 months without a problem, if the filter becomes fully sub-mergethen you are dont for but its rare, adding a bypass fixes those worries though

i think it would work out to be similar to a stock intake since it's full of ripples

On my CAI the filter sits just under that hole in the engine bay, so its pretty high up in the fender, I mean if the water was that high I would not drive trough it anyways, u got to remenber ur tail pipe is lower than the filter and most cars that get killed on high water is due to the tailpipe getting pluged with water and chocking the engine, happen to me before! I dont like that flex pipe, its hard to work with, u better off with the alloy or abs parts from ebay or Autozone, that blue 'thing' is just the rubber coupler, Autozone got those too. If u do the conversion u will notice a difference, plus it will be quieter than the SRAI.

tHINK I will keep it the way it is. I take the air filter off every 2k mile for cleaning.

Something else u could do (if you don't have OEM fog lights) buy some PVC piping at Home Depot, some bends, a piece of straight pipe and couplers, drill the OEM fog light housing cover, u can fit about a 2 inch pvc pipe on the midlle, route it with the couplers and bends at its way up exiting in the hole on the engine bay where the OEM air box used to sit, and now u have ur SRAI there... u got a ram air bringing cold air to ur filter, rain and water won't go up that high, so ur safe. if u use the right parts and maybe paint it back should look nice.

That won't help when your not moving. Heat soak is worst at idle not moving. Hp loss is most noticeable off the line.

Plus for the cost of all that. The cai is cheaper.
