Hey guys I'm new to the forum, I just traded in my wifes 2002 Avalanche for a Black HHR LT1. And we love it.. I live Southern Cal and I will let K&N use the HHR for a free intake... Let me know the info... I can't wait for this little cars to start getting some aftermarket parts...

 

get some pic's of the cai!!

 

Replacement air filter: http://www.knfilterchargers.com/sear...x?Prod=33-2339

 

what kind of a change will that make?

 

In terms of what? It your talking HP, its just a replacement filter not a CAI. You might get a 1-3 HP boost because its a K&N but thats all I would expect if anything, nothing noticeable. But seeing as how it is a K&N that should be the only filter you ever need to buy for your vehicle. When they get dirty you just take it out, wash it, and re-oil it. I'll wait to see if K&N releases a FIPK for the HHR and what other CAIs hit the market before I change.

 

Will this no intake filter show any difference

 

It's just a replacement air filter. It is better than stock. The air flows through it better and its reusable. Thats about the only benefit. I'll wait for a CAI at least.

 

I wouldnt run an oiled filter like a K&N, unless you don't mind cleaning the MAF sensor all the time. The oil from the filter coats MAF and ends up doing more bad than good. If you use one just make sure to clean the MAF, or just run a high quality paper filter.

 

We are having a CAI proto'd right now. It will use a dry filter with 1-micron filtering abilties. We stayed away from "oiled filters" for just the reason snksknr94 mentioned. Right now it's being designed, dyno'ed and built for production. Hopefully we will have more info in the next 2-weeks. Stay "tuned." (I know...bad joke!)

 

very punny
