Cruze intake

[TravsSonic]

I assume the grill over the tube is an air straightener? Without that the MAF readings might not be as accurate, but who knows without logging before/after.

honestly, it looks more like a plastic mesh screen. Everything i know as well as read about research on velocity stacks goes against putting the screen over it. The whole idea behind the stack is to get rid of the sharp angles and for all the flow to be linear. This grille can't do anything but make the air tumble and be chaotic. But you are correct.. it would have to be data logged and sent to vince to make sure removing the obstruction didn't adversely effect flow in a negative way. But I don't see anyway removing it would be adverse unless you didn't have a custom tune. (in which case don't mess with it!!.. haha)

Was just wondering if when you find out about the zzp intake and the pricing if you will post it on your online store.

I didn't get a chance to contact them yet, I'm going to really try to tomorrow

Let me know if you want to order one, I can get them cheaper than going to ZZP directly.

Never heard of that company. Do they consider that a SRI, or a CAI? Looks more like a CAI I suppose, considering the length of the pipe. Looks mean nothing though.

Any noticeable hp boost at all? Does it make it drastically louder in the cabin? (Some SRI/CAI's make it unbearably loud in sub-compacts.)

Any problems with any of the electronics getting weird?

Thanks

Zzp makes an SRI. The MAF is the same as the Cruz's so it just pops right in. Basically SRI stays in the engine bay and CAI goes under the car or behind the bumper. Depends on the car and the intake itself

ZZPerformance is huge in the GM world. They make some of the best parts out there, very high quality stuff. I run a few of their parts on my cobalt personally.
