Cold Air Intake for Chevy Cobalt G5 & Malibu (2005-2010) 2.2L 2.4L Engines

Maximize Airflow and Throttle Response for Your Ecotec-Powered Cobalt, G5, or Malibu

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Chevy Cobalt, Pontiac G5, and Chevy Malibu owners running the GM Ecotec engine family (2.2L L61/LAP or 2.4L LE5/LE9).

The Problem: The factory intake system on the Ecotec is built with one goal: silence. Between the restrictive paper filter and the baffled, corrugated plastic tubing, your engine is essentially breathing through a straw. This design creates significant air turbulence and heat soak, which kills throttle response and leaves horsepower on the table, especially in the mid-to-high RPM range.

The Solution: We engineered this performance intake to replace the restrictive stock plumbing with smooth, mandrel-bent T-304 polished aluminum. By streamlining the air path and utilizing a high-flow cone filter, we allow the Ecotec to pull a larger volume of cooler air, correcting factory inefficiencies and providing a much-needed boost in volumetric efficiency.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Power Band: Increases horsepower by up to 10% and torque by up to 8% by reducing vacuum restriction at the throttle body.
• T-304 Polished Aluminum: Unlike the factory plastic that brittle-cracks over time, our lightweight aluminum tubing dissipates heat faster and provides a permanent, show-quality finish.
• Simple Bolt-On Fitment: Engineered as a direct replacement for the OEM air box, requiring only basic hand tools for a clean installation on both manual and automatic configurations.
