Wake Up Your Commute: Red Performance Intake with Heat Shield for Chevy Malibu (2008-2012)

Your daily driver doesn't have to be boring. The 2.4L Ecotec engine in the 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu is reliable, but the factory air box restricts its ability to breathe and perform. Our Red Performance Air Intake Kit replaces that restriction with a polished T-306 aluminum pipe and a high-flow Red Air Filter. Complete with a steel heat shield to keep intake temperatures down, this kit delivers a substantial boost in horsepower and torque of up to 10%, sharper throttle response, and a deep, sporty sound that makes merging and passing much more fun.

Why Upgrade Your Malibu's Intake?

• Proven Power Gains: Engineered to maximize airflow through the stock manifold, delivering a performance boost of up to 10% in Horsepower and Torque.
• Includes Heat Shield: Unlike basic kits, this system includes a Steel Heat Shield to protect the filter from hot engine bay air, ensuring your engine draws in cooler, denser air for better combustion.
• Enhanced Throttle Response: Eliminate the sluggish feel. By smoothing out the air path, this intake ensures your 2.4L engine reacts immediately when you step on the gas.
• Deep, Sporty Sound: Transform your driving experience. This intake amplifies the engine's induction sound, creating a deep, throaty tone under hard acceleration.
• Custom Look: Features a Polished Aluminum Pipe and a striking Red Filter to add a custom, performance-oriented look to your engine bay.
• Cost Effective: Includes a high-performance washable air filter. Under normal driving conditions, it requires cleaning only every 50,000 miles—simply clean and re-oil to save money on replacements.

Pro Tip: We advise resetting your battery terminal for a few seconds during installation. This allows your engine computer (ECU) to "re-learn" the increased air flow parameters, ensuring you get the maximum performance increase immediately.
