Cold air intake for SS
hi,from flint mi.
i saw these wheels on moons ss,and had to have them.i just love this hhr-ss,the ride sold me.it gets lots of attention with these wheels.people be pointing at my ride every where i go,and i kind of like it.
Get used to the attention, because you'll get a lot of it.
It blows me away the attention I get, everwhere I go, from lots of different people. I thought some of my prior cars drew attention, but nowhere near what the SS draws now. People like the wheels. Makes a black SS really stand out.
Nice wheels bye the way. "Moon"

I think the reason why we aren't seeing anyone really make a cai for our ss's, is because we already have a cai system. I mean if you look at the setup there is a tube the goes to the fender to pull in cooler air. So basically all you need to do is get a better filter. You could also get better piping to help with air flow. That seems to make sense on why K&N is using the stock air box and changed the tube and put their box cover on ours just to advertise their name. So if you ask me we already have a cai. Correct me if I am wrong, but you won't really find anything better out their that will work, besides the secert service one, but why pay for something you already have and can just change to a better filter. Just my opionion.
I have had time with KNN reps and the gains they see in their systems are based on how bad the originals are.
Some systems can gain 17 HP but others like the HHR are only 9 HP. Often the factory can control the noise and keep good flow so there is much less gain.
My GTP will see 16 HP gain as the air box is horrid for flow. THe HHR SS is not really bad. Most of the system is well sorted and the intake system dampens the drive by noise to meet goverment standards.
This may be why GM never offered a system like they did on the regular HHR.
