    no intake alone will give you even 5 hp. just make one on your own, with tubing 3.75-4 inches thick. lots of people make their own, its incredibly easy. where the hell did you even find those 2 intakes, ebay?

    depending upon what you have done, you might get a 5-10 hp increase, but its doubtful that you will. like he said, make your own intake for like $50.

    dont buy any of the intakes off of ebay........they are junk. Make your own or find a GOOD intake to put on there.

    Make your own...did he not say that? It's easy.

    Go read the safely modding your 3800 thread in the general tech section. There is a DIY FWI link in there.

    They are not as hard to make as you think.........but if you must buy one please see if you can wait a couple of days to a week. Check this link out and let us know if it will work for you. http://www.grandprixforums.net/f73/m...ke-fwi-20.html
    The ones on ebay have a very small pipe and look restrictive to me. They also suck warm air from inside the engine compartment, so how can they be a cold air intake? If you want more advice if you HAVE to buy one, let us know...
