hey guys, i was just wondering what your opinions are on the intakes on ebay...a guy on gagt told me the induction dynamics one isnt worth the extra money, and to check out ebay..so i surfed and this is one im looking at, it dont seem to be to bad, and its hella cheap...sometime if i got one i wanna fab some sort of tubing from outside to the filter for a sort of ram air typa deal...let me know what u guys think! thanks

any header you find for the 2.4 is gonna be for the Cavalier or Sunfire and they won't fit the 96-98 Grand Am's. There is a problem with clearence and the angle of the firewall(cowell). You can still get it but you will have to do some fabricating to get it to fit right,it will end up costing ya some more $$ unless you can weld and have a pipe bender

Yes. I got my CAI (for 01 GT) on ebay for $34.99 and it was definitely worth every penny. I got mine from chromeintakes on ebay a while ago, but i'm not sure if they make intakes for your engine

probly no more than 10% increase depending on car and driving conditions, but you'll definitely notice a difference

I bought mine off of Ebay for $35 (including shipping)... but I haven't gotten it yet. They sold a back ordered item for some reason. These are probably the cheapest intakes you are gonna find. Similar K&N's are atleast $150 if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe like 3hp It's more for sound. I got one of them $40 things off ebay. I then put a k&n on it.

No it does not. I extend the IAT thing myself. I did not buy the thing from pfyc. :) flex tubing will come one day when I convert it into a CAI.

BTW I use my VCR's old power cord to ground my fogs. Look to the right in the pic :P Black wire with the white line.

Could someone confirm it for me before I go and order something that may not fit?

It won't fit. TB is in a completely different spot.
