Here's a pic installed. I'm sending it back as I don't want to wait 2 weeks for a replacement and have to pay for the 2nd one till they receive mine and credit me back.

It made some noise, but I didn't feel any gain. It's been hot with ac on a lot so I'm sure that isn't helping. Really wish it was a 5 speed.....

To back up what has been mentioned earlier I believe my HHR "feels" like it has more power with the stock intake on. The intake noise isn't missed either. One thing I noticed once I had it back to stock is that I can not rev the motor past 4k RPM in P or N. What gives? Sometime it would even go back to idle even with the pedal to the floor.

Normal..has a rev limiter so at 4100 it cuts off..keeps one from toasting a motor in park...smart car..it sees no reason to be that high under no load....though it will red line if the tires are turning..( in neutral)
