[peeweeherman]

[ptrudel]

ebay, search for a Z24 one, it'll work...search button is your friend

[2fst4u]

any 2.4L cavalier intake will work. most are just aem knock-offs. but, they work all the same.

should i get the cold air intake, or the short ram intake

[Spy]

get the one that you like the best.... also searching is your best friend buddy ole pal...

if you want my opinion I say electric blower would be a hot pick up and easy to install.

[PrImEtImE]

I got the AEM short-ram and it works and looks great.

[peeweeherman]

[2fst4u]

aem knockoff. like we've been telling you. it's just powdercoated.

[peeweeherman]

Yeah it is a Ebay intake, but no it isn't powder coated. It is high temp spray paint. It is a Short ram or Wai.

[battistoni21]

you ordering one of these peewee?

[Roguer]

how difficult (or easy) is it to put in a WAI? im guessin its not uber difficult, but just wonderin

[Vtolds]

Pull the old intake tubing, unbolt the air box from the car. Put the new tube on, filter, and it bolts to the power steering pump.

[peeweeherman]

are the cai longer than the short ram? if so how long are the pipes?

well ya it's gonna be longer cuz the CAI goes into the fender, whereas the WAI stays by the battery...i dont have measurements tho cuz i had to chop up my WAI for the new intake manifold

[peeweeherman]

cool thanks

[battistoni21]

lol i have a funny feeling he might be asking this.....

if you go WAI, your gonna get low-end power, and your gonna notice no fuel mileage increase.....maybe a little bit

if you go CAI, your going to get more high-end power, and you will notice a better fuel economy.... with that cai, just watch it with the puddles.... im talking ones where you could suck up water, cuz if you do.... your engine is toast.... there is an aem bypass valve that could help though......
