Cold Air Intake for 01 2.2L

[DopeSimple]

Hi, I have a 2001 sunfire 2.2l and I was wondering how the best way to make a cold air intake would be. what kind of bends will give me the least air restrictions, considering the throttle body sits with the hole on the top... should i do an immediate 90 dergee angle and straight over the manifold. or should i sneak down by the inner drivers side wheel well?? also what companies offer performance parts for my car? it seems that the sunfire wasnt that popular and are just getting into the scene.

wai sits right next to the battery....cai goes down into the bumper....u can make a wai just by buyin a 90 bent pipe and conecting a filter on the end of it...best bet? buy a kit or go here http://www.rdfabs.com/

weather you do a "WAI" or a "CAI" the price will be about the same. but there isn't a considerable different. But to make it you need a 90 off the TB and then a straight piece and then a 45 and some more straight. depends i on some stuff

hell yea...that kit is only 200 bucks and looks tight as shit....

sweet... i think im gonna go with a cai, me and my dad started making one today... we're gonna try to put it in the bumpre just under the rad, and were going to try to enclose the filter and have a "ram air" type system... i live in canada, and i was wondering if you knew of any distibuters of headers, and exhaust systems, the full deal... i have a lil money to play with, and would like to get the most out of it... thanks

thanks alot, i got that all in nice and snug, i wish i had more time during my weeks to work on the car... i was wondering what kind of gains you get by adding a performance muffler, i already bought one, im waiting to install it tonight, i was just wondering... thanks all

[CavLCD128]

none? lol all the gains are pretty much in the CC or in the bigger piping used 2 make the exhaust i believe...i might b wrong but im 99 % sure that a performance muffler dosnt add anything but sound

[DopeSimple]

ok, i will keep that in mind, i didnt think it would really do anything, but now i know that im not gonna keep my stock cat on. im ordering the pacesetter headers and cat-back exhaust, and now i will be ordering a new cat. is there a difference between the painted, or the ceramic? and also what kind of cc should i be looking for? thanks!

[Cavalier2000]

ceramic is better for a header and I'd say don't waste your time with a cat back. $500 for a muffler and piping is a little nuts. Just buy you a bigger highflow cat and a new muffler and then just get new piping like 2.5. You'll see a price difference

Back to Intakes, The stock air box must have a lot of restrictions cause its got that huge box by the TB so i would imagine a intake should help quite a bit but what do you do with the breather tube coming from the valv cover to the intake box?

[Cavalier2000]

put a little filter on it

[dougie_Fresh]

Thats what i figured but what would happen if i just plugged it? And if anyone could help me on the reason why i get oil in my intake that would be helpfull too?

[Cavalier2000]

because of the hole on the valve cover is why you get oil.
