I'm wanting a CAI or Short Ram for the simple fact that it cleans up the engine compartment.
SoCal. I wanted to order a 1LT with a 5 speed 2.4, but they wouldn't deal with me on the price. So I got a better deal on a show room floor model. Same options as I wanted for the custom one minus the 2.4. I'm willing to bet this is the case with most HHR drivers.
I like my cars very simple with litte factory opeions because I like to add them myself. I absolutely hate stock stereo systems. I also didnt want to pay for foor racks that I'd rip off, or wheels that I'd replace, or suspension that I'd replace, or the fancy chrome package that I'd modify.
See where I'm comming from?

Agreed LayLow....
It's been a couple months since SoCal's last CAI update - any further info on the CAI's??? Definitely interested in dyno #'s, as I can only assume this part will be as much, IF NOT MORE, than the K&N unit
!!!
Updates appreciated!!!

UPDATE: Both K&N and AEM have hit considerable roadblocks on getting their intakes done. AEM has notified me that their unit will be a short ram now, NOT a CAI!?! We don't really know what is up with K&N - they have had several HHR's in and called me a couple of weeks ago to come in for another test fit but I couldn't make it.
I am currently working with 2 other manufacturers still trying to bring a decent intake to the market. In fact, this morning I'm driving out to have one installed and start testing it. (*This model is also a short ram.) If it runs well, I'll be taking it to Solvang for all to see.
The last and final manufacturer is the most promising; they have the best filtering system and make everything in-house. We are hoping to get them to commit to a full CAI (as NO other manufacturer has so far!), and also to design a new better replacement OEM panel filter for the stock airbox.
Will keep everyone updated as things progress...
