Make your own.
Click the link in my signature and enjoy.
All the ones out there are over priced, expensive junk.
CLICK THE LINK IN MY SIGNATURE AND READ IT.
That's what I meant.
If you go to Lowes or Home Depot in the plumbing section, they have a 3x3" rubber coupler that comes with 2 clamps... all you really need is that piece and a filter.
Rubber coupler on tb > air filter on other side of coupler > DONE
04+ Rubber coupler on tb > MAF on coupler > Filter on MAF > DONE
Coupler costs like 8 bucks, filter can be had for 20-50 depending on brands, etc. Does the SAME THING as the 200 dollar plastic mess you bought off K&N or Spectre or Wizaird or whatever.
Only thing you might need to do is put a 1/4" or so hole into the rubber piece for the PCV hose.
I didnt buy the one i posted before, was just seeing if it was worth it.. but I found this .. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_2780wt_952
if what i bought doesnt work out, i'll just take your advice (:
Your cone is too small!
But hey, you'll be fine with that little guy. Just consider throwing a bigger one on, eh?
Why no read link in signature when asking for help and ignore it?
If you want to be modding your car, lazy is not how you will get results... lazy is how you will get a ruined car eventually.
I was lazy doing my hv3, didnt wanna spend 30 seconds to remove the fuel rail again and double check all the plenum bolts... ended up with a huge coolant leak.
A drive to lowes takes a few minutes, picking out the right coupler takes like 5 minutes and then actually putting it on the tb with the filter takes 5 seconds.
It'll take you longer to remove the stock air box than it will to piece together the new intake.
So just how much cash are you willing to lay down for a half hour's worth of work?
Cause... you know... I got a lawn mower and some free time if you're too lazy![]()
So you'll waste money on a junky ebay intake, that isn't that great.
So, whatevs broham.
Or GET UP AND MAKE YOUR OWN!!! Jeebus... It is soo silly easy. And better. And cheaper. And..... Just do eeeetttttt.
OH man. So much lazyhate.
Installing one of the piles of fail that is a vendor "cold air intake" is way harder than getting the $8 coupler and/or clamping on a filter.
If you have a 04+, you just need to bolt a filter onto the maf sensor, it takes like 50 seconds, and all you need to do is buy a filter from autozone, or you can order one to your house....
and a maf calibration too plz.
A Whowhatnow?
After lurking for quite awhile to figure out how to go about making/buying the right CAI, I have not seen one dyno graph that shows that a homemade CAI is more of an improvement than a vendor CAI.
I'm new to GP's, and never modded a 3800. However, I do know that simply going from an aftermarket/stock air box CAI in my TBSS (3.5") to a 4" FWI netted me about 20hp to the wheels. You can see proof on the PCMForLess.com website. So, do the 3800's not respond as well to colder air vs more air?
Making one looks very easy, but it looks like cold air comes in through the vents and is piped back to the air box. Why wouldn't you reuse that setup instead of just an open cone filter in the hot engine bay?
