Built by who? Or are you keeping it a secret for now?

Yep. Sorry, but that's the way is has to be until it's finished. I trust all you guys - it's the rest of the Internet I don't trust!

They are definitely a well-respected intake company though.
2-weeks of design with several dyno runs during development.

I'll post more when I can.

Actually, it IS for the 2.4 - I mis-posted in this section! (Oooops!)
There will also be an intake for the 2.2L...

You aren't going to wait for a couple to hit the market so you can compare dyno charts plus see how they look and so forth? Not all CAIs are created equal! The one I had on my Mustang was all go no show. It was black plastic so it wasn't all shiny like all of the other ones on the market but it had the best performance out of them all. No offence SoCal but I'll wait to a couple of different ones are on the market.

Most of the manufacturers I've spoken with are stating that if people were interested in performance, they would have bought the 2.4L engine. It could be a while before you see HHR specific intakes for the 2.2L engine.

Just my $0.02.

*Edit: An intake for the 2.2L has now been released.

I'll have my HHR back next week, but product development will still take 2-months or so. They have to bring a prototype to production status, and that includes everything from components to packaging. We have been guaranteed "first shot" at carrying them, so as soon as it's available - we will have them.

In response to other comments; I've been in this industry over 20-years, and have worked with many different manufacturers in prototyping new parts during that time. Rest assured that the company we chose to go with has a reputation of developing high performance products that perform above the levels of their competitors. The dyno charts will tell the tale...

More to come...
