GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I am going to install a cold air intake and would like to know if the intakes for the 03 vibes would work for the 05 vibe also. I am sure it would since the engines are the same I think. Also does any one know if below freezing temparatures in the winter will affect the cold air intake? Does any one reccomend a certain brand?

If you have a very early '05, they will work. After that they went with a drive by wire system instead of a cable to the throttle body. Cosmo Racing is the only company making a CAI for the '05 and '06. I have one on my '06 and it's great. Where I live it goes down to -40F and I have no problems at all.

The 05 AWD are all the same. Drive by wire like they always been.

The only thing with a CAI and sub-zero temps is that your car will take longer to warm up. Engines like cold air. As long as it's fluids are still fluids.
