You HAVE installed the CGS and an aftermarket grille separately and noted the performance gains from both, then compared the two - correct?
If so, then please post the verifyable data...or this is all BS....

I would like to see some back to back dyno runs stock cold air intake vs. any of the after market intakes. I'm going to venture a guess that there is no difference shown on the dyno.

What I would do is alter the grille a little so that it appears that the HHR is happy..heehee..and move the Chevy emblem above the grille, Thats what Im going to do when I draw my "Wheelie, The Incredible Cute Ute" cartoon series!.

Mitzkity, I am with you 100%. The grille is the only choice!! Unless you have the $$ for both. The intake is done. The true question is the intake manifold or the the grille? Just something to ponder, LOL, Todd (Uma)
