Thread: Does the car computer need to be moved to put on a k&n air intake?

Bro.

Dont waste your hard earned money.

Do this: http://www.grandprixforums.net/simpl...ntake+pictures

and NO, the pcm can sit in the same spot it was, just zip tie it.

1 more thing, that whole COLD air thing, is a scam and to be honest the diffence between cold and hot air on a supercharged car is minimal and not worth it.

Do not waste your money on the K&N cold air intake for these cars. They do not do anything to improve your gas mileage or even increase horsepower. The general consensuses is open cone or homemade cold air intake.

Damn you ffdp i really need to hit post before i tab back to chat lol.

Yes they work PERFECT for more air, but your paying 60 for parts and another 150 for the K&N name.

Make your own and it will flow the same as the K&N one and when you buy a filter make sure its a NON oiled filter. Oiled filters are junk and become dirty 10x faster.

its fine it you dont want to listen to us, but youre wasting money buying K&N.

Xanthous trust me we are not blowing smoke up your ass.

I just did an open cone(slapped a cone on the end on the throttle body) 20 bucks and done. AEM get them while there hot man I seriously had 80% of it done before my burgers were done on the grill. AEM 9"X4" CONICAL DRYFLOW AIR FILTER ELEMENT 21-2059DK | eBay

Oh yea and when your hittin WOT you hear tht S/C whine soooo much better. Always a plus

Put a big 9" open cone on there, give me the extra $170 you would have spent on the K&N and you have the same power gains, louder S/C whine, and an air filter that never needs replacing. We both win

Buying a K&N FIPK setup on the 3800 Supercharged cars makes just as much sense as taking 2 $100 bills and setting them on fire.

Comprende senor?

its easy to make your own to

filter meet pipe, pipe meet throttle body.

or

filter meet throttle body, throttle body meet the $260 dollars i just saved

You just put this directly off the throttle body?? That is CHEAP!

Yeah...

like this...

But yours is a little different.

well, alrighty...I'd never thought about doing that and completely removing the "tube"...I guess I never thought that the MAF would be able to attach between the TB and air filter...

Which is why I said yours is different...I have an external MAF sensor as well...you'd have to set it up something like mine.

Oh I gotcha.....I was thinking mine would be different due to no supercharger on top

He probably zip tied it next to the filter somewhere.
Like this.
