I just got a chevy cobalt and i was wondering if a intake was just the metal tube and the filter..... a friend of mine has a 2 door v6 03 honda accord he bought used with an intake and the pipe is really long and snakes down into the front bumper. is just a little tube with a filter on it enough?
Yup. Your friend has what's commonly referred to as a "cold air intake". But basically it's a piece of mandrel bent pipe with a filter on the end.
I may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but at least I'm a pretty color
