      K&N Air Filter

      I just bought an 2009 AVEO5 1.6L ECOTEC and of course the first thing i wanna do is get some air through there... I'm getting 3in. exhaust pipe from cat back with a fart can to finish 'er off but K&N has yet to specifically say they have a filter for my car...

      My question is: Has Chevy changed the air filter AT ALL the entire life of the Aveo from 2004+ (or whenever they started making them)? ...or will a K&N air filter from an earlier year work? I know that they used to be e-tec but i don't think there's much difference? 33-2320 is the K&N part number I'm looking at, will it fit on my car?

      Thanks everyone!

      You found a cold air intake for $35? A ram air maybe. Most cold airs run from $85 to $250.
      I'm planning to modify the factory intake to a ram air, this will cast about $30 Canadian

      Well for an N/A motor of our size anyway...

      Hit me up with a PM because I've got a true CAI (minus filter) for a sweet deal

      You found a CAI for an 09'? I've been planning on making one, but if I can save time by buying one it would be great.
