hello everyone.
I'm curious and I've seen this discussed but i would like to start a new forum just for this topic.

i know with a little bit of modification the CAI of a cobalt will fit on the malibu but does that go with all of cobalt parts? if anyone has any input i would truly appreciate it. i want to put a CAI in my 2.4

i would like to put upgraded parts in my car. (regardless of a small improvement) i would appreciate any input, but i don't care to hear that "it doesn't do much" i understand its not going to be a race car but something is better then NOTHING. thanks everyone. have a great day!

Not sure if you are asking about all parts or not.

Anyways, the 2.4L 4-cyl engines (LE5 / LE9) are the same in the Cobalt and Malibu. Also, they run the same hubs (wheels are swappable between Malibu and the Cobalt). However, that is where the similarities end. The Malibu runs strictly a 6-spd auto (majority, I think there are some 4 speed autos as well), while the balt runs 5 spd manual and 4 speed autos. The suspension is also different between the two.

What were you looking at upgrading? Go fast bits or handling (or both)!?!?!
