just go to your local autoparts store and buy some various plumbing items such as 45 degree elbows and sleeves and make your own. To my knowledge there aren't any CAI kits made for 2.4 aleros but i could be wrong. there are prob kits for cavaliers with the 2.4 and grand am, which is about the same thing, but not quite. I might be talking out of my ass tho

There are kits for the 2.4 n body but hard to come by now. Ur best off just making your own work using ebay kits

if u have the eco, get the cosmo intake. i have that on my eco and an induction dynamics/CAI on my LD9. pretty much evry1 with the L61 gets the cosmo.

If you want a cheap WAI just take off the stock air box and resonator, and put a cone filter in it's place. It won't look as good as a kit but will have the same effect.

ok, but what is the effect of a warm air intake?

Better mileage, better power, better sound. CAI sounds best but you run the risk of water, and the filter gets dirty much faster.

no the only diff is youll hear a sucking sound when u rev. its not gunna get u a ticket bro, its only an intake. the "more power" is only like .5 horses at the crank if that
