    hey guys i just put in my first mod on my GT. I went and made my self a home made intake.



    I just ran some PVC from the stock piece to a cone filter. Sounds mean. but anyway should i be fine with the PVC or will it not withstand the heat of being in the engine bay?

    The pvc will be fine, unless you paint it. You still left that restrictive tubing btw.

    Yup I went in and did it myself. Would I really get a difference if I removed that stock tubing?

    Probably so. That is the restrictive part...not the airbox.

    Yeah, we're talking a GT here, not a GTP... I'd have a difficult time believing that a bellows delete will net enough power to notice.

    And at the correct direction too...when air hits that stupid rubber elbow it goes everywhere in all bunch of directions...with a straight piece...one direction...correct flowing air.
