Is this an actually cold air intake? Not just a chrome tube with a filter on the end, it actually relocates the filter out of the engine compartment so it will get a colder air charge?

Actually, it will only be a "COLD AIR" intake for you between the months of November-February during the hours of 10pm-6am. Any other time it will be a "HOT AIR" intake! (Arizona!)

Aaron - I can't give any more details until the unit has been completed.

The stock HHR intake is a cold air charged design that receives air from the passenger fenderwell behind the headlight. I pleaded with the designers to retain this type of a system if at all possible. We'll just have to see what it works out to. I wouldn't want an "open filter" setup that draws air from a hot engine compartment either.

The bottom line is that the dyno numbers should speak for themselves.

Your wrong it like 85 here right now, it hot all the time. I just laugh when I see people spend money on a chrome tube that still keeps the filter in the engine compartment.

You didn't read my post:

"...during the hours of 10pm-6am."

Only during those hours!

Nope. AEM (I can say it now.)

*Edit: AEM has since dropped development of their HHR intake. Read on for more info!)

Nothing about numbers will be dropped until it hits the shelves.

Expect 2 more months or so.

Sorry!
