2008 gp intake

[NickyT]

Do they make air intakes for a 2008 gp base model? ive only seen ones for the gxp.

[Bio248]

yes, the make a K&N, but you're not going to like the price.

X2.. Do some searching around here. Go to the search bar and type in air intake or something along those lines . Search around and see what others have had to say about it. Most will just make their own or even just stick a open cone filter on the the TB.

Just put a dry flow filter on the end of your maf sensor and call it good.

[NickyT]

alright thanks for the help guys. i might splurge for a nice one but sadly im 17 and broke hahah.

[TheOtherNick]

No point to splurge.

[NickyT]

yeah, ill probably check out some cheaper options or somethin

[TheOtherNick]

Do what I said spend at most $50 on a filter and be happy with something works better than stock and is cheap.

[NickyT]

what kind of filter would you reccommend?

[TheOtherNick]

amsoil, but I am biased because I sell them. I would recommend any dry flow filter really.

[NickyT]

oh alright well ill check them out. and is installation pretty simple? im thinkin about doin it before work tomorrow

[TheOtherNick]

disconnect stock air box from maf sensor
remove factory box
attach filter to maf sensor.

[NickyT]

alright thanks for the help man

[NickyT]

do you think that it would be better to attach it to the throttle like fivefingerdeathpunch said?

[Poil336]

not sure what motor he has, but the maf is in a different spot on the newer models if i remember right. yours has the sensor outside the throttle body, his is in the throttle body

[NickyT]

you may be right. its just the stock 3.8

[Poil336]

somehow i managed to find this:

blowfish talks about his intake and says that the newer models have an external maf. might help you out

[ZR1Vette09]

yeah, the 04+ have an external MAF. Here's a pic of my old setup.



Where you see the 45* bend meeting the coupler i had to use a slightly smaller pipe to wedge the rubber open, but i'm sure you can make something up. That's a spectre filter, works great. What you see here cost me about 50 bucks.

[NickyT]

thanks poli, and i think im gonna go with your set up vette. thanks!

make sure you shield the filter from the hot air of the engine bay, some use the wizair, or a plastic garbage can cut to fit then insulated
