Guitar_B · 04-13-2009, 09:04 PM

Soo I just ordered an Air Intake from Cosmo for my car (ECOtec) and im wondering a couple things...

1.how hard is it to install (I have a garage to use and my buddy is a licensed mechanic... but i wonna try and do it myself)

2.Has anyone else ever bought anything from Cosmo

3.If so how long did it take till you recieved it (They told me 24 hours to ship and 3-4 days before i recieve (Moncton-New Brunswick-Canada)

THANKS!!!!

dude it takes like 5 mins, literally the hardest part is taking off the stock box and all you need is a screwdriver. when i ordered mine it took like a week but im down in cali

Hardest part for me is to put that damn Sensor back in the pipe lol

it's extremely easy just oil your filter when you get it, your going to have to buy a k&n recharge kit, the hardest part may be putting the oxygen sensor into the new air intake tube, also be patient with the rubber elbow that connects to the throttle body.

Does the k&n recharge kit come with the oil? And do i have to buy that right off the bat???

AbHeLlRaZoR · 04-13-2009, 10:36 PM

yeah it comes with the oil and your going to need it before you put it on your car, but it's really cheap it cost me $13.11 at the local NAPA parts store.

Do they have thoughs at Crappy Tire?

more than likely if you can't find it then ask.

I ordered a WAI from cosmo. It took less than a week to ship. I am alot closer to Quebec than you are though.

Cosmo recommends that you can run their filter with or without oil. The K&N charge kit is not a bad option though. Just be modest in applying the oil.

You should have no issue with the install. I did mine in 5-10 minutes.

The only issue I had was that the harness for my IAT sensor was a bit short. I spliced and soldered an new section of wire to correct the issue.

good luck!

I think CT has it for $12.99

It is called K&N recharge kit. It has two bottles. One cleaner, one oil.

I have found it cheaper on sale at TSC.

this is right after install, my engine bay was dirty but I've washed it since then

They gave me the sticker for the intake separate.

I left mine off. I thought it looked better that way.

I also have a second Cosmo Racing sticker that came with my short shifter. Haven't found a place for it yet. It will most likely end up on a tool chest

I put one of mine on now I'm just counting days until it falls off, the other one is on my tool chest. mine also came with 2 license plate frames.

I have one for a 2.4L but it is relatively the same I am guessing but the toughest part was getting the o2 sensor through the rubber plug and I drilled and new hole for that sensor and plug the other (aluminum tape) because the harness couldn't reach but no biggy.

heineck · 04-13-2009, 11:26 PM

i only got one sticker and it looked bunk as hell WTF

Vic28 · 04-13-2009, 11:44 PM

is called the IAT sensor (Intake Air Temperature)..not 02sensor or MAF.

Guitar_B · 04-14-2009, 03:04 PM

Is this the same thing as the K&N Recharge Kit...?

^Yup that's it

NickAlero2000 · 04-14-2009, 03:58 PM

I like my Cosmo intake...it will be integrated into my charge piping once I boost

AleroDrime · 04-15-2009, 12:12 AM

i had an issue with mine, i followed the instructions, it said put teh shorter end of the elbow on the motor, having issues with the fit ment, does reversing the elbow fix this?

btw, any wanna give or sell me thier cosmo sticker, the flat one, not the curved one
