bio intake ftw!
|
Alright, i will end this thread right here. W-Body Store's "intake" IS NOT their intake, it is JMB's Fender Well Intake.
And upon research, you will find on JMB AND W-Body Store's website it says
"Fits 3.8 N/A or Supercharged 1998-2004 Buick Regal, 1997-2003 Grand prix (Requires inner fender brace removal), and 2000-2004 Chevy Impala" ~JMBperformance.com
"Installation Notes - Please note that cutting of the inner fender brace is necessary on W bodies which makes this one of the more difficult intakes to install. Please email us if you have problems with the install and cut/ modified intakes can not be warranted under any circumstances." ~WbodyStore.com
With that said, I OWN A JMB INTAKE. Was i upset at it? Very, but i did a lot of research before i bought it and knew what i was getting in to.
You are correct, and sorry if I am coming off very strong, it doesn't fit. But it clearly states it is very difficult to install. Me and my father cut, and cut, and CUT, on the inner fender bracing, and still were a bit off. The tube should have required NO cutting at all, the only thing that required modification was your inner fender, not the product.
With that said, I did cut the fender well block off plate down for a perfect clean, and flush install. Did the install suck? You bet, took me and my dad almost 4 hours, but the looks are second to none. I own a 1998 GTP just like you, so you can't say my setup is any different, and just to confirm to everyone else, the coolant bottle is NO where near hitting the intake setup.
It took some modification, but nothing that couldn't take some time, planning, and patience. Here's exactly what needed to be removed...
To make this hole...
