dont beleive you will find an aux port on the back of this headunit.....also dont beleive their is a CD port out on the back since the headunit comes with a 6 disk player internal to the head unit......I beleive the only option is thru the FM mod connecting between the antenna and the connnection on the headunit...dont beleive there are any PIE interface cables available yet...

Any cool ways to increase HP on the 3.5L? by cwesleyg

I have Googled this and I get the same lame info on the Tornado for the intake... washable air filters like K&N... Anyone heard, or better yet implemented, anything that gave them more horse power from the 3.5L V6? I would love to get another 5-10 HP out of this thing. I don't wat to go the route of super charger or anything in the $2-3k price range. I haven't even seen throttle body spacers for this engine.
 
Almost 16K on my 2005 Maxx LS... only issue has been the driverside front turn signal... rigged repair from dealership waiting for new socket to come in... unfortunately they gauge the hell out my lamp module and are replacing that as well.

There is a $15 replacement chip that claims an extra 20hp and 20ft/lb torque.
 
Its called an AR Power Chip (for Max 04-06 part #1010)from Accel Racing (AccelRacingtampabay.rr.com). Here's the ad:
 
Specifically created for the CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX, the AR power chip is built and designed with horsepower in mind. 20+ to be specific. Amazingly small and simplistic, this mod is guaranteed to increase your engine’s horsepower and torque output.
 
Accelerate faster. You can be guaranteed to feel a difference. 20 horsepower is exactly the type of performance upgrade you could expect from more popular yet more expensive modifications. The AR power chip gives you this exact same performance boost out of a small, inexpensive chip. And best of all it’s easy to install. NO MECHANICAL EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED. You plug and play this chip.
 
No soldering wires. No splicing wires. No cutting wires. No welding. No disassembling and reassembling required. This allows YOU to install our chip. Even cold air intakes require some sort of mechanical knowledge to install. With our exceptionally detailed instructions you can be rest assured to have the chip installed in less than 5 minutes by YOU! Don’t pay a mechanic $60 an hour to install an expensive modification that has exactly the same effect on performance as the AR power chip.
 
With such a small price tag you might think this mod is nothing but an ebook with instructions to modify your engine as it is. But the AR power chip is an actual electronic chip that is plugged into a sensor near your vehicle’s air box. It’s a simple plug and play installation that is guaranteed to provide results. It’s small. It’s simple. It’s amazingly effective.
 
Many of our customers tell us that the price and performance promise of our chip seemed simply too good to be true. Paying less than $20 for a modification that will have the same effect of a brand new cat-back exhaust just seems mind-boggling.
 
So how can we sell you such an effective modification at such a low cost?
 
First of all, we manufacture and distribute our chips in extremely large quantities. Add in the fact that we avoid overhead costs associated with keeping a storefront, and you can quickly see that we can sell a valid product at an extremely low cost.
 
Maybe you’re looking for just a little added horsepower to get rid of your car’s sluggish engine. Maybe you’re looking for a little bit of added torque to tow your boat. Maybe you’re just interested in more horsepower for as little $$$ as possible. In any case, you simply cannot go wrong with the AR power chip.
 
So what are the facts?
 
Complete AR power chip kit including the chip and instructions for under $20 shipped
 
At least 20 added HORSEPOWER
 
Increased TORQUE output – increased TOWING CAPACITY
 
Improved ACCELERATION
 
100% satisfaction guarantee backed by our 100% money back guarantee. NO FINE PRINT. NO HASSLES.

 
I haven't used it nor have any information beyond this, but I guess for $15 and a willingness to tamper with ones car it seems like the solution for you.

dont waste your money on a 15$ chip...most performance chips can run a 100 or two.....dont know if there is a retune available for the BCM or not.......not much on the aftermarket performance wise for the 3.5 that Im aware of

Sounds like the same old mod that has been floating around E-bay. All it requires is a resistor be plugged into the Temp. sensor in the Air-Box fooling the computer into thinking the outside air is cooler than it really is. This causes the engine to run richer, and gives a slight boost in power. However, this performance advantage goes away after only a couple minutes when the engine starts to warm up, and then costs you by making your engine run richer with no performance gain. In short, it has no practical application... Unless you want fuel mileage to suffer...

Hi. I visited the nordstromauto site but could not find any engine covers for malibu (valve covers, yes. engine covers, no). If you have more specific into, please post?
 
Thanks E2 for note regarding GM covers that won't fit the older engines. A pity.
