Whats the best cold air intake??

[djdatease]

im starting to look into cold air intakes & i want to know whats the best one. i would like to have some added hp & gas saving at the same time..

[Gravey]

I've always liked K&N.

[Lowizle]

if money isnt a problem, get the K&N system, if money poses a problem, the piping doesnt really matter, just run a K&N filter...the filter is the main part.

[Gagt518]

There is no such thing as a K&N CAI for are Grand Am's. Check out are sponsors. The best intakes for are cars go inside the fenderwell. Customgrandam.com and MPRacing.com both sell them. Customgrandam.com has a sale on there BLUE CAI's for only $145 with free shipping

lol lots except myself, im either gonna pick up the true CAI 3 piece from chromeintake or their WAI with TB pipe, would much prefer a cold air box over the true CAI for ease of cleaning the filter

Most people say 1 MPG or less, and anywhere from 5-10 HP (but it'll sound like you added a lot more).
Those #s seem to match my install pretty well..

i second this

[djdatease]

awesome im gonna look into the mp

[Grims01GT]

It adds a nice deep sound too. I have just a cone on the stock tubing and it sounds a lot better.

[Vampyrate]

the best CAI is the cheapest one from Ebay that you can find (most of the time its Chrome Intakes). the best filter for the job would be a K&N. I have used the AEM driflow filter in my elantra, and those are more suited towards SRIs as water damages the filter way too quickly.

you will spend about half, maybe less than the sponsors on the piping (but supporting the sponsors is always a good thing). the filter is where an intake really "shines" piping is just that, piping

[djdatease]

hmmm....im still listening

[Vampyrate]

well, go to ebay and search up car parts... find a 2-3 piece CAI for the grand am for the 3400 (i found a 2pc from chrome intakes for about 40 shipped). the filter it comes with is great, and i use that when i clean the K&N filter that i have and rotate those two over the course of a year.

[djdatease]

see i kinda wondered about ebay & course u hear ppl say stay away from parts on ebay & was kinda courious if anyone actually got any & if they likes...

[Vampyrate]

i love mine. after buying accord intakes for next to nothing and chopping them to fit an elantra, getting an intake from a reputibale company (like chromeintakes) there is no going back for me. if CI makes a kit for whatever my next car is, then i will buy from them. they have my business for life as far as im concerned.

[djdatease]

awesome thanks for the input, ill deffently put that in to consideration.

[Vampyrate]

car modding can be expensive for parts, but the smart modder knows how to find the best parts for less

[djdatease]

ya with my old car, i could get hook ups & find the right parts all day long, & then starting totally over again on a new car...its like more tiring than it was with my old one.

[jbacker7]

If I were you I would buy pipe, couplers, and a filter and make it yourself. Cheap. Satisfying.

[SappySE107]

Lets see pics of this mystery ebay CAI for 40 bucks.

should i continue?

[SappySE107]

Why would you continue? I mean, if you wanna find one that doesn't use most of the stock system (aka the ribbed tubing that creates turbulence before the TB), then keep looking. I hadn't seen them so I asked. Normally its a cone filter in the engine bay for that price.

[Vampyrate]

i wasj ust saying... even the ribbed tubing left behind than the entire stock system with random 90+ degree turns. im happy with the two piece setup that i have, now if i could just get the money together to get a muffler that i would be happy with

Just wondering if there is such a thing for these car's?

[Vampyrate]

i think dr crap made one, but as we all know he doesnt do buisness anymore

[Richard Craneum]

Do not throw your OEM airbox away, you might want it back. IMHO, those things does not make enough of an impact for me to spend the money and/or spend my time installing it.

[mjm613]

hey im lookin to put cool air intake on my grand am gt
i have somw experience in the garage but can anyone send me a link that can help me out how to set it up

[Vampyrate]

i dont have pics, but i can do it in my sleep.

jack up the driver front and take off the wheel

take out the wheel well liner and the surrounding liners under the bumper

find any screw or bold attached to the stock tubing and take it out

replace stock tubing and airbox with the aftermarket products

enjoy

[PontiacGT201]

get the 3 pce CAI on ebay. Be smart and look at the sellers statis. if they got good selling statis them there fine. I got my CAI on ebay and it works great. get a nice K&N filter of course.

[Vampyrate]

chromeintakes is a good company to go through
