Anyone got any pictures of some custom intakes, Not looking to spend 200 bucks on an intake when I can make for 50.

Also what are a couple good ways to up the power a little bit on my car. I figured intake, Exhaust at some point. But question is are there any restrictive spots in the exhaust that would hinder the power.

 

How about a "Tune"

 

here's mine. i didn't notice any performance gains, but it does sound better and looks kinda cool too. plus changing the filter only takes about a minute.

i like it alot. considering the idea and the cost.

 

Just curious what did you do about the mass air flow sensor. Where and how did you mount it. that seems to be my only problem at this point.

 

i used a GM weld on MAF receptacle, but its made out of aluminum, and the intake pipe is steel, so i just bolted it on. no issues, and CEL. if you do run it without a MAF it will get a CEL and it'll shift real hard.

Heres a couple of pics of my setup.The filter is a cone type that sits in the inner fender behind the driver's side headlight,like the Cobalt SS/SC. Got to credit Joe R. and CJ from family.net for the idea.

 

@HHRNole.............. What did you use for the MAF adapter air tube and what diameter is the tube?

 

I cut the tube off the stock airbox which I believe is 2 1/2". The flex tube 3" is reduced with a Specture reducer. Spectre also makes a MAF kit,with different size inserts. Don't want to go bigger than 2 1/2 on the MAF for the proper air flow. Too big and you throw codes.

 

That's what I had read about larger tubes throwing codes, and I was thinking about cutting the stock intake for the MAF tube.... thank you for the clarification
