Check out my custom CAI

[Red99GAGT]

I've been planning to do this for a long time, but I just didn't have the funds available to do this little project. Then a couple other guys made their own custom CAI's and wanted to sell them, so I needed to get on with my project. So I busted out the credit card.

Well anyways, this is what my intakes consist of. 3" Polished aluminum tubing, colored couplings, stainless steal clamps, and K&N inverted cone filter. Check out my web page below. I am going to try to sell these, because I think it would be a fun little project and its always nice to see some more options for aftermarket modifications.

I have other intakes that I plan to make, like pre-1999 Grand Ams, and a Warm air intake (or short ram...they can be called a number of things). I just have to get a hold of that car to make it fit. But as of right now I only have CAI's for 99+ 3400 V6 N-bodies. Installation is not that difficult, and I am in the midst of writing the directions.

My initial observations of the intake are very optimistic. There is a definate boost in power in higher RPM's, and the sound is AWESOME. Off the line I haven't noticed a drop in power like some have claimed.

Please take a look around my site. I am open to any feedback you can give me. I'm not looking to make money off of these, just give you guys another option. Thanks for looking!

With all do respect, I would like to avoid these kind of posts. I haven't gone over to his threads and try to steer people in my direction. I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

And the reason mine is a little more expensive, is that I'm going with the inverted cone filter, which has better flow than the normal filter. I can provide anyone with whatever filter they want, its just that the inverted one is whats standard.

im not a mechanical genius, nor have i owned a car with factory equipped ram air. but wouldn't ram air be a little better than a cold air intake? but under the hood does look good. a little attention to detail can go a long way

Looks sweet... and I would be interested in the WAI if you make them. I don't want to pay TOO much for one. I have a GMS MAF WAI intake setup now but I want to extend it with tubing and couplers then build and cold air/ram air box to use with the SC/T hood but I have to fix the intake first and get my 65mm TB and p&p UIM from APOC (sometime soon I hope!)

NOPE


:angel1:

^ i agree.

and I dont sell the intakes. I was just letting people know there are alternatives. I have seen people do the same thing to his thread about APOC's. There ARE alternatives.

That looks great and if you want to dress it up more you can put a 3.4 cover on

I'd definately be interested in a CAI for a 97 3100 engine if you made one... Looks great, by the way.

[ccarr8705]

I am defiently looking into buying one of these. What other colors would you have other than red?

[prisen]

interesting. Will there be a no-filter option? Perhaps for around $60-$70 for the piping/couplers only?

edit=being the cheap skate I am, how bout a slight discount for the first 15 or so orders? I don't need instructions, I just want a friggin CAI, and I don't want to wait 6 weeks for it.

Red, blue, yellow, and black.

I can look into that. I'll let you know. As far as a group discout goes, I'm not really interested in doing that yet because I want to cover my costs firsts. But you never know.

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! Keep 'em coming.

[TA^Guy]

Looks great Keith.

[ccarr8705]

Black sounds nice given my car is black. 165 this might be a nice deal

I would also be very interested in a CAI for the 3100 V6. I have heard that you can use one from a certain year civic does anyone know what year civic that may be. When are you planing on putting out your 3100 CAI's? Let me know. My E-mail address is

Its just a matter of finding the time between my two jobs and getting a hold of an 3.1L GA. Between the two, it could be some time. Once i do however I will post up as soon as it happens.

[firebirdsmoker]

how adaptable is it to a 3100 v6? the engines have very similar sizes and parts...can it work? nice work by the way, very nice!!!!!!!!!

As far as the engines go, they are practically identical. Its the chassis that is different. For the 99+ there is just barely enough room to fit the 3" aluminum tubing through into the fenderwell. My buddy works at a pontiac dealership, as soon as he gets a 3100 V6 GA I'm taking it out for a day long "test drive" if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the compliments man. It fits even better now than it did in the picture. I have had to make some adjustments but I'm really satisfied with the way it has come out. thanks again!!
