Hey all, i appolgize if this question is anwsered already but i would like to know if anyone knows any cool air intake parts for a 2003 pontiac vibe (automatic).? I seen some cool air intakes for the Vibe GT but I have a bae model Vibe.
Using Search, I found 2 previous posts of members installations of an Injen CAI on the Base Vibe: Injen CAI WILL FIT THE BASE VIBE!!! I did it!http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1275 Injen CAI install on Vibe BASEhttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1281Also 3 other CAI-related posts: K&N Has CAI for the Vibe and Matrixhttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1454 Make your own CAI!http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=178 INJEN & AEM CAI head to head in dynohttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1116

The old post link above re CELs coming on with CAIs (Acronyms 'R Us!) may have a simple(?) explanation. From the pictures and description in the Do It Yourself CAI post, the Vibe MAF appears to be the "sample port" variety, in which only a portion of the flow passes over the sensor mechanism. IF so, this would mean that any increase in the CAI tube size vs. stock at the sensor location would result in a smaller % of the actual air flow passing over/through the sensor, resulting in a higher actual vs. signalled mass air flow. The O2 sensor would therefor see a lean condition at a calculated stoichiometric (14.7:1) air/fuel ratio, and thus a flagged lean condition could occur.
