question about intake

[flaveo5]

hey guys, i've got a new aem cone filter of a cobalt SS AEM cold air intake (my buddy had it and added a injen so my gain)
think that could be rigged up to work with the ecotec in my 09?

with some creativity anything is possible.

ya, its super easy, just remove your air box, and attach the cone filter to the intake pipe, and tighten it up with a gear clamp.

^now that would be a great solution assuming that the AC wires arent directly underneath the intake tube like on the E-tecs. or it could end up costing u 60$ down the road. get some charge pipe with the correct bends, 8 inches of 4 ply coupler, a hack saw, a drill, and some clamps like denis mentioned. make the necessary cuts, drill the hole in the pipe for the air sensor, use the coupler to seal and secure the sensor into the hole u drilled into the pipe, use the clamps to hold the pipes and couplers together and to intake mani and ur golden. pretty straight forward.

no ac in my aveo, dont need it here in Newfoundland lol

ill take a look tomorrow, would like to have a little growl like i had in my p5 without spending a pile on the cai

[mikedudley17]

if all ur lookin for is a lil growl then remove the airbox resonator. it will give u all the growl u need.

tru but probably easier to add the aem filter.. I'll take a look in the morning and see whats better

its not the cone filter on the stock plastic pipe that did that, its a cone filter on an aluminim intake pipe that we all had that did that, so even if he has ac he is safe

I ran a K&N cone on the plastic pipe for 35k without any problems except a little paint rubbing off on the strut tower. Just switched to a custom CAI, got tired of everyone saying I had a warm air intake.

put it on this morning, defiantly a lot louder. not sure if ill keep it on, perhaps the airbox mod would be better, its has its moments whsn it sounds good other times it just makes the car sound ..hmm well like its a old heap lol ,
