i have been told the stage 3 cai on mpracing.org would fit. does anybody know what kind of cai would fit the best? are there any stainless still headers for the ecotec? i found a borla exhaust system for my ecotec but am unsure how the pacesetter headers will work with the borla exhaust. any advice?
Get a CAI that is meant for your car. The intake on your 2.2 is different than the V6 that their CAI is meant for. You may end up custom fabbing something or... See Below:
What's on there isn't a "Cold Air Intake", it's a restrictive factory airbox. A true CAI will route behind the bumper skin, or somewhere where the filter will be away from heat to actually take in cold dense air.
If your filter is just sitting under your hood, you won't be gaining much other than some more noise coming from under the hood as you're just taking in hot air from in the engine bay. In this case, these are called "short ram intakes" and may give you a little more torque, but not much more.
As for the pacesetters, if it doesn't fit with the borla exhaust, just modify your down pipe. As long as you don't touch your Catalytic Converter, you'll be fine as far as legal issues go.
