Short Ram to Cold Air

I would say so, you don't have any engine heat near it...

Where did you get the IAT sensor from ? the one on my 09 appears to be welded into the intake pipe and would have to be cut out and fettled into a CAI , not difficult but I'd probably get a better result if I can find a replacement stand alone sensor.

I know on my 05 it just snugs into a grommet on the intake trac

Mine was glued in with some pretty heavy stuff, took me a little while to remove it and not damage it or the stock pipe incase I need to get warranty work done.

its 3" pipe that will fit in that hole

I have a short Ram intake in the aveo just because when looking for a space to put the tubing for a full blown cold air intake I found that it wasn't going to be easy. I still want to put in a full blown cold air intake to go in the corner of the bumber and possibly pop the plastic piece off and put a vent/scoop in it. I wanted to see if anyone has put in a cold air intake vs. the short ram and if they could post some good pics of it so I can see what you did.

im not sure if this is already covered, but im lost on how you say it wont be easy. on my 05 the hole was already there for the stock airbox, so i just ran piping into the wheel well and i was done. its best to do a CAI honestly, as i found my ram air rubbed through my coolant line from all the vibes the engine put out. just remove the stock airbox's (is one the resonator?) and run your tubing into the wheel well. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE PLASTIC GUARDS ON YOUR BELTS. you dont want your CAI bouncing into the pulleys if you use a DIY CAI from the autozone like i did.

i still just wish they had a bolt on cai for the newer 09 engine...

I know what I am doing, those guards will never come off my aveo. I also hit a nice stump today and while my bumper was popped off I decided to take out the air chamber in the wheel well, since I had to get in there to fix it anyway. Long story short good as new, the local hardware store had the stuff I needed.

Well I finally did it, I went to lowes got some 2in. pvc pipe and made the cold air intake. I know what you're going to say...pvc pipe? ricer? well I figured why spend $50 on piping when it is available for $9? I am insulating the engine parts so people will never notice what kind of piping it actually is. Actually I got a few comments from friends and they said, "it actually looks pretty good from the sound of it I thought it would look redneck"

I'll post a pic later today if I can.

Oh one more thing I'm a little bit disappointed not having the extreme "growl" like I use to from my short ram, it's almost as quiet as stock now, but it still has that kick in the higher rpm range and it isn't sucking in engine heat so I'm not complaining.
