Intakes are the gateway mod. They are inexpensive, easy to install, give good performance gains and usually start you on the path to becoming totally obsessed with modifying ever last aspect of your car. But which intake is the one for you and what separates one from the other? In truth, intakes are a very complex part of your vehicle that are tuned from the factory to reduce certain resonant frequencies that your engine produces as well as keep water from finding its way to the filter of your intake all while taking in the coldest and cleanest air possible to help deliver good performance.

Calling all Cobalt SS Supercharged owners! Takeda is looking to develop an intake for the 05-07 model year Supercharged Cobalt and is giving an intake to the lucky owner as part of the deal. If you're in the Corona, CA area and would like to donate your Cobalt SS/SC for a day to the team of Takeda engineers this seems like a pretty sweet deal. During testing, the Takeda team will fit their prototype to your vehicle, make some dyno runs and take airflow readings to help develop the final product.
