What is the best cold air intake brand for a 2006 chevy cobalt lt?

Wanting to add a little sportiness and was wondering what the best cold air intake for a 2006 chevy cobalt lt would be. Thanks in advance.|||put a k%26amp;n air filter in... it will not void a warranty|||Save your money, none of this plastic sewerpipe with an airfilter stuck on the end is even a true cold air intake, your car has one now, the only thing you will do, besides voiding your warranty is waste money on something that has a good chance of messing up the computer of your car, which can cause a lean condition (and this can burn up your engine.) GM is voiding warranties right and left for almost anything you do that is not stock, after a rash of transmission failures following a chip manufacter programming to be faulty, This stuff is a waste of your hard earned money, throttle body spacers, cold air intakes, and power chips are hyped up overly expensive crap, On new cars, or trucks, and mostly diesels, you can get some big horsepower gains, but the trade off is anything you do to change stock programming, you run the risk of blowing up your engine sooner. If any of this crap worked, they would be putting it on new cars as we speak. Yes without a doubt, we all want an extra 100 hp, but some bolt on plastic stuff, and a chip that changes a few timing parameters on a stock engine,built for fuel mileage, is not going to do the job.


I have stayed with the fuel injected v8 for exactly the reason you are asking your question. I like power, I like the sound of a v8, not some frigging sewing machine 2 cylinder screaming downhill at 40,000 rpm, and going up hill at 40.


The trade off was fuel mileage, so be it, I had to drive less, but I had what I wanted a good strong powerful engine, to each his own, if you want more power, then build a strong engine, and add a turbo, you will lose some fuel mileage, but that is how it goes. You cannot have it both ways. best of luck.|||You're wasting your time and money. Cobalt intakes are already cold air intakes. They pull intake air from the wheel well.
