I did it myself last summer when a buddy wanted to cut a hole on the lid so that it would get more air. I took his idea but without cutting. Lol. I put 1/2 inch pacers in the front bolts. It made a significant difference in sound. But the sound really came to life when I installed the catless downpipe and with open lid. So far no noticiable power loss or gain. But awesome sound.

I've had mine spaced up for quite awhile now, and it's not throwing any codes.
Mine is spaced up 3/4" in front and 1/4" in the rear. You can hear the BOV a lot better. Looking at the air flow under the hood, it's got to help some, especially after I trimed up the air deflector over the radiator to get more airflow under the hood,[another free mod].
Just in case you have'nt noticed, the HHR hood is not sealed on the sides, so lots of the hot air gets vented to the back of the compartment and out the side of the hood, and against the firewall and out the bottom. From over the radiator back to the airbox, there is'nt much hot air to deal with.`Much cheaper than a CAI, and might work just as good. Sure sounds wicked too.

I'll post a photoshop later, I have a bunch of design meetings today for upcomming shows... But I have been working on an idea of mounting a wide slew from radiator to front of box. Like I said I'll try and post a pic later. SInce I put on HANN's pipes you can really hear the BCV, but I'm liking the raised roof thingy. Post later. Moonsign, OVERBOOST... post a pic please.
