Unable to give actual time readings...
NO dyno places near me..

I guess I can take the car to the air field and have the security police track me with their radar units...

Maybe this CGS intake is too much work

Jim...on the contrary....they are very little work at all other than a routine cleaning/changing of the filter, but you'd have that no matter what sort of car you owned. The stock turtle box that came with the car is much more work to take off and on than the CGS. Mine hasn't been off to oil the filter or anything yet...it's been off so I could make adjustments to it so it fit better in my 2.2L. The CGS systems are made to bolt right on to the 2.4L and can be done quite easily. It also makes for a much nicer look under the hood too in my opinion.

I also purchased the Outlaw filter that Mike at SoCalHHR's sells and put that on in place of the one that came with the CGS. Now I have a spare one that can be put on at a later date when I need to clean and oil the filter. Can't go wrong for $20 and I'll probably never have to buy another filter for the HHR as long as I have it.

Hopefully Mike (socallhhr) will have some input when he gets back.... i.e. Cleaning (with what? and how often? )
