I think there's going to be plenty of aftermarket stuff. With GM's push to show everyone the Cruze's quality, at least we should see decent stuff from GM Performance Parts.
By the way, CREWZIN, I assume you have the 1.4L turbo model. I was looking at its intake, and I don't believe it's very restrictive. There's one section of corrugated tubing that looks a bit odd, but you may notice that with the size of the stock air box and the short air flow path, it's not too shabby. I think the air flow sensor is actually part of the neck of the filter box, so you may need to buy an aftermarket sensor for an aftermarket conical filter.

Yes it is the 1.4l turbo and it's still on order. Should be here in about 3 weeks. I'll have to take a good look at the intake when it arrives. If it is drawing direct cold air and doesn't look restrictive maybe all I'll do in throw in a K&N filter in the OEM box.

Used to live in Maryland right above DC working for one of "agency's" but got out of there about 10 years ago with retirement down here to the Sunshine State. My LT2 with the RS package looks like it's falling apart but I have my eye on the LTZ with the same 1.4 turbo.

Well, my LT2 with the RS package fell threw but I bought the LTZ that was the showroom floor. Really likes the RS package but I found out the fog lights can be ordered as a complete package for $229.00 and hopefully I can order the rear spoiler and maybe even the side skirts. The LTZ has the upgraded stereo, electronic moonroof and the 18 inch wheels.

Thanks. Pic from the other side. Didn't bring it home yet. It's sitting just like the pictures on the showroom floor. Wife is sick right now and wait till she's all better before taking delivery. Has a sold sign on it and they are glad to have it for a few days becuase it's the ONLY one they have to show potential new owners.
