Cai
Does anyone know a good CAI manufacturer? I was looking on the K&N site, but it doesn't list an intake for a sunfire. Any suggestions?

AEM, Injen, K&N, Weapon R, ebay craptech and Im sure cody will be along sooner or later to whore out his guys intakes so Ill let him sell you on that.

Also your better off looking for an intake for a cavalier with the same type of engine as the sunfire in question. Most places only list for cavaliers and assume people will know that a cav and a sunfire are about the same animal.

Re: Cai
2200 OHV CAI...



2.4L CAI...



2.2L Ecotec



All intakes are made from T-304 Surgical grade stainless steel then hand polished to a mirror finish, unlike the aluminum ones every body else uses.

RDFABS - Stainless Specialists.

Re: Cai
Nope. Nothing for a Cavy either.

It's just that, If I buy a new intake, i want to have a good filter too.

I read that a good CAI will give me about 7-9 HP? Is this true for a 01 Sunfire 2.2?

We have an option to buy ours with K&N filters.

Re: Cai
What are the benifits of stainless steel rather then aluminum? Isn't the SS alot heavier?

Re: Cai
No, aluminium loses heat faster, and is also lighter. SS is stronger, but heavier, and less heat loss.

Re: Cai
So, a SS intake is actually not that great of an idea then?

Re: Cai
I believe I read somewhere on the AEM site that with the 2.4L a short ram intake was just as effective as a CAI. That seems a little strange. Anyone else read this? I haven't seen many CAI's for the 2.4, but many SRI's, maybe there is some truth...
