AIRAID Intake System For 2006-2008 2.2L, 2.4L Chevy HHR

Airaid Intake Systems

There’s plenty of truth to the statement “What’s old is new
again.” For 2006, retro is in and Chevrolet is cornering the retro-rod market with models like the SSR pickup and the all new HHR sedan. According to Chevrolet, the HHR is a cross between a `49 Suburban and the SSR pickup, which also takes its styling cues from GM early-50s pickups.
With its retro styling and large amount of reconfigurable interior
space, the HHR is already a hit, especially with economical Ecotec
four-cylinder power plants under the hood. While the optional 2.4-liter 24-valve Ecotec is rated at 172 horsepower and 162 lb/ft of torque, it never hurts to have a few more ponies when attempting to motivate a full-loaded, 3,100 pound vehicle.
AIRAID Filter Company has figured out the secret to improved throttle response
in the HHR while also gaining more horsepower and torque. AIRAID’s latest
Cool Aid Dam (CAD) intake system for the HHR directs air directly to an AIRAID
Premium Filter, the heart of the system. The computer-designed system
seals against the hood to ensure cool, outside air is fed to the intake. This
allows both the 2.2- and 2.4-liter Ecotec power plants to “breathe” which results in an 8 horsepower and 8 lb/ft power gain at the wheels.
The new intake also provides superior filtration since it uses a lifetime, washable and reuseable AIRAID Premium Filter with SynthaFlow® Technology. In terms of filtration, all
AIRAID SynthaFlow® Premium Filters utilize a specially-blended combination of gauze and synthetic layers that consistently filter down to two microns, providing superior protection
at No Extra Cost! All AIRAID filters are also hand-poured with urethane instead of rubber to prevent cracking and shrinkage in the extreme conditions found under the hood.
AIRAID’s new HHR intake system can be installed in less than an
hour with ordinary hand tools and replaces the Ecotec’s plastic
engine cover. Best of all, like all AIRAID products, the HHR Air
Intake System features AIRAID’s “No-Hassle Warranty.”
