Performance Air Intake Kit - 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR (2.2L & 2.4L)

Wake up your retro wagon. The Chevy HHR has a unique style, but the factory engine performance can feel a bit restrained. Unlock the true potential of your Ecotec engine with this High-Performance Air Intake Kit. Designed specifically for the 2006-2011 HHR (2.2L and 2.4L), this system replaces the restrictive stock air box to deliver cooler, denser air to your engine, resulting in immediate gains in horsepower and torque.

Why Upgrade Your HHR Intake?

Factory air boxes are designed to be quiet and restrictive. By switching to this open-element performance system, you allow your engine to breathe freely.

Performance & Benefits:

• Proven Power Gains: Dyno-estimated increases of 5-8 Horsepower and 5-8 ft/lbs of Torque.
• Better Throttle Response: Experience smoother and quicker acceleration when merging or passing.
• Improved Fuel Efficiency: optimizing airflow allows for better combustion, which can lead to improved MPG during highway cruising.
• Aggressive Sound: Give your HHR a deeper, throatier intake growl that sounds sporty under acceleration but remains civilized at idle.
• Versatile Installation: The unique 2-piece pipe design allows for two different installation configurations: set it up towards the forward or the back of the engine bay depending on your preference.

Key Features

• Washable Dry Filter: Includes a high-flow cone filter that is washable and reusable. Note: This is a Dry Filter—DO NOT OIL this filter. Simply wash, dry, and reinstall.
• Complete Kit: Comes with 2 aluminum pipes, 5 hose clamps, 2 elbow couplers, a breather hose, and aluminum brackets.
• Sporty Look: Polished aluminum components add a custom, car-show-ready look to your engine bay.
