GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Well this all started because of this site.I was searching for wiring specs for my vibe when I put my hitch on and I hit this page and have never been the same since. I love the vibes you guys have on the site and there is lots of good ideas on mods. I have been visiting this site for few months just looking around and getin some ideas, Then all hell broke lose and I started trickin the vibe out a bit..... I hope it's not addictive (ha-ha) Anyways it started with a hitch I needed for my reno. Haulin the garbage away to the dump now I'm just haulin (removed)! and lovin it. Sure is growly with air intake and exhaust! All this happened in about three weeks, good thing I have to save up again for some more mods. More to come.

welcome, what year is your vibe. hows the weapon r workin for you no issues like a cel

2005 and the weapon r is sweet easy install too. " no issues like a cel?" i duno what you meen

was your vibe the drive by wire or the throttle cable???I thought good ol cosmo was the only makers for 05-06?Well any who... how does it sound and how many horsies does that one give.

i believe it is a throttle cable and for h/p no idea but it made a noticeable difference when driving. The sound well it's pretty throaty under load and quiet on idle, when you lay in to it you definitely here it, actually I find myself laying into quiet a bit just because of the sound. I bought this car B.C. Canada and the reg says 05 so...... there you have it.

ok so no problems at all with the cel...... not a single lite on and i have been abusing this thing since i put the exhaust and intake on.

Yeah i figured... mines the drive by wire.My friend had a AEM CAI on his civic... when he redlined it, the intake kinda made a blow off sound... dunno exactly what kinda sound but it was sweet... ever since then ive always wanted one.My cosmo CAI should be in next week! YAY!

weapon-r intakehttp://www.mimousafiles.com/prods/783_b.jpghtt ... .n.htmthis is how i made my decision on Weapon r intake

Welcome to GenVibe, Shane!I'm assuming your '05 is an AWD? You can tell it's an '05+ by the front fascia.If you have an '05 and its is an AWD then it would be a cable throttle.Ha, I just added the Weapon-r short ram and hitch also. I'm doing the wiring this weekend.I made my decision for the Weapon-r based on TPR Magazines Intake test & review. I have not had any CEL's either. The Weapon-r had the best gains in the low to mid rpm range which is where I spend most of my time. Here is the article: http://www.tprmag.com/issue/1/sr-results.shtmlPost a better side shot of your vinyls when you get a chance. From what I can see it looks pretty cool! Again, welcome and enjoy your stay.

it's only a 2wd and will do on the side shots

Thanks.If it is an '05 2wd Base then it should be an electronic cable throttle and not cable. Post a shot of your engine bay when you get a chance as well, please.

That looks pretty cool... i wanna do graphics. I still have the graphics drawn that i wanted to put on the cavalier. If i can find the paper... ill scan it in.Nice choice on the colors too!

will do

thanks

I need a good CARB exempt intake for next year's smog test, and don't want to spend another $200 on Injen or K&N (Typhoon), the only two intakes I know of that are CARB exempt for the Vibe.--Back On topic--Welcome aboard, and nice vinyls

Welcome to the site!

i was on the weapon r site a few months ago and they didnt have an intake for the vibe but went back last week and there was one there. i sent them an email asking if was actually compatible with the 05 but they never responded and i dont want to spend the money to find out it wont work

it works great and easy install and i have had no cel's to date. you'll love it. I'll upload some pics of installed soon and the intake fits 03-05 models

That would be sweet Did you get the Secret Weapon or Dragon intake? I'd love to know two things:1) Would the secret weapon fit a 2003 Vibe GT2) Is it CARB exemptIf so, I may be looking to buy one, and sell my AEM CAI.

read this and it is a Weapon r intake this is the site i bought it fromhttp://www.autoaccessorystore....n.htmhttp://www.autoaccessorystore.com/

When looked at ording it... it say 03- up.... but 05 and up are drive by wire which has different parts! so i dont think it will fit? not sure.

here is a couple pics installed in my car and rember no cel's and it's an 05

What did you do with the large smog hose that went into the intake right before the throttle body?

Welcome to GenVibe!Very nice looking Vibe you got there and the vinyl graphics are tasteful.And, yes, modding is addictive and, nope, you have no hope!

it is now the small grey hose you see in the picture just about midway up the intake

welcome to the family. those are some nice graphics on there. now im really wanting to get some side graphics now.
