OK now this really sucksss. I half installed my intake today because apparently 05-06 does not mean it will fit an 06! I bought the Injen cold air intake from Sportcompactonly.com because they said it will fit 05-06. LIES! I had to fabricate a custom bracket for the intake to fit. Not only that I have to extend the wires for the mass air flow sensor, because as they are now, they are pulled to the max. This blows. But the car does pull harder, and I hit max boost faster. I'm working friday so I'll through it back on the lift and fix it and make it nice. But that really pisses me off, I'm going to call up that company and let them have it about their false advertising.

The overall quality of the intake is substantially better than the K&N I installed on my friends SS cobalt how ever. If it fit, it would be perfect. The whine from the supercharger is amazing. But I get this weird high pitched screeching from the intake at certain loads and rpms. I gotta check that too. The installation was rushed cause I had class. I gotta go back and make it nice nice.

BTW I work at Hawthorne Chevy.

Oh and PS - It's a cold air intake, that goes off to the right side of the engine. It goes down into the fender well to right behind the d/s fog light.
