I went to my local autozone and purchased all of the parts that I was told I would need to assemble an intake. However, when I went to put it on the car, it seems that the MAF sensor does not fit into the part that I bought for the car. Has anyone had this problem, or can anyone provide any suggestions to solve this?
On AutoZone.com you can order part #9405. It has the correct adapter and is a perfect 74mm on the inside of the tube so your Cobalt will not throw a code. Check my garage for the pics. I also used the P3 filter #9132.
Hope this isn't to late to help.
I left the stock box...and apparently my car runs pretty good from the times I have seen here. It was stock at the time too...most new cars don't like having the MAF disrupted from its factory location...I used a reducer from the stock box to a piece of leftover intercooler piping my buddy had from his DSM build...and ran a 90* Silicone coupler to the TB. Then I yanked out the bottom of the air box and hacked the car out of it pretty much exposing the entire bottom side of the K&N Drop-In I have. Probably does just a good of a job as the $300 intakes do for ~$50. Pic of it is in here...
Spectre Performance MAFS Tuning Adapter will solve your mass air flow needs with no issues at all. Again the part is #9405. The K&N intake is great however, a much more expensive solution.

The intake pipe you have is nice however, by keeping the stock box you are defeating the purpose. The Spectre #9405 I mentioned in the thread is $32 at autozone.com (not in stores).
The #9405 will seat the MAFS in the exact place and inner diameter is 74mm. Which is the same as the stock set up. Then use any filter with a 3inch opening. I chose the Spectre #9132. Check my garage for pic. This set up gave my car more power and a wicked sound. Especially when I go flat out.
At my autozone the couplers were only one size :/ lol its whatever the size of the pipe is in the kit, i had to squeeze the coupler on the TB a little but its not too much bigger to make any difference
I used the intake kit to pipe my fujita directly to the TB, had to cut the pipe but it works great
It looks good too, but I think I'm gunna do an SRI.
