Cosmo run around!!! CAI

[Mrizzle05]

Im sooo pissed off at cosmoracing (can i say pissed off?)They sent me another email saying its gonna be a couple of weeks now that they will have more CAI's for the 05 vibes... which gets me, cuz they sent one not too long ago saying that they would have some in by this coming week.I just want my cold air intake!!!!Does anyone have one they dont want or wanna get rid of one for the 05... or know if any other place makes them for us 05'ers

Cosmo is the only one, that's why they are out of stock. I can't believe nobody else is making one, it's such a simple change in design.

[Mrizzle05]

I just dont see if your out so much.... MAKE MORE!Ive been looking for over a month... if it takes that long to get even a few more than thats bad for business... and it sucks cuz they said they would have more within a week, and that was about a week ago... now its a few weeks.Im just mad cuz i want one and have to keep waiting then i get close and now i gotta wait more!

[joholste]

it's the DBW TB that causes the change right?

Have you seen my signature?

[viberationz]

what about going with a different brand? (injen??) oh and toasted... why is it a "broken" vibe?

[Mrizzle05]

I cant go with a different one.... they only have for the 03 and 04... if that were the case i would have gotten one.-cosmo also told me they make it for the drive by wire.Ill use that next time toasted.... thanks!!!

Not only am I not able to get a CAI for my car (at least one that fits), but I am also one of the LUCKY genvibe members that is having to deal with the "my vibe won't start!" issue... that's why it is broken.Injen does not make a CAI for the DBW Vibes checked into that when I first got mine.

yea, the throttle body is smaller. Interestingly enough, my Cosmo CAI had directions for 03-04 and 05. The big difference was there is a nipple (heheheheh I said nipple) on the underside that is used on the 04 (and older) but not on 05. Some line from the VSV is supposed to go there if used on 04 and older. For the 05 the directions say to leave it blocked it off (comes with a yellow cap). The only other attachements are for the pressure (PCV?) line from the valvecover, and the MAF sensor.

I am one of the first to install the cosmo for the 05 and it is a great intake. They sell out fast because whomever makes them for cosmo probably cant keep up with the fow of traffic. The difference in design is the extra hole for the extra hose under the engne cover. It is simple to drill the hole in a older one and use that just add a nipple with some JB Weld and your good to go. I helpwd a friend do this and his is still workig great. just a thought if you didnt want to wait for the one already designed for DBW

can we see some pics of this customization?

[Toasted7]

I'll take pics when I do mine... cause I am going to have to do the same thing. I hope to get it on my car within the next few weeks.

[rlfreese]

there were pics posted here by another member not too long ago. I will see if I can dig them up.

[Mrizzle05]

[rlfreese]
