neither.
use a paper air filter. change it often.
Delete the U bend or get a downpipe.

a pipe with a 45 degree bend in it, a coupler and a dry filter, then downpipe also stated above or headers

I would feel safer buying something other than crafting my own. Which would be best?
K&N Cone Filters - GPUNDER - PFYC.com
W-Body Cold Air Induction System - GPUNDER - PFYC.com
lK&N FIPK Air Intake Kit for 3.8L V6 57-3045 - GPUNDER - PFYC.com

the first one is just a cone filter that most of us use on out homemade system. i know that some people dont like to be like everyone else, but have you searched and looked at some of the intakes these guys made? and honestly its a begginner level project.
that being said, if you were gonna go between the other two, i would go with the cold air intake.

PFYC is beyond over priced.Originally Posted by JDrach
All you really need to do is slap a cone filter...say the first one you linked...will do better than any of those systems combined...and slap it on the throttle body.

open cones FTW

So open cone will give me the same performance as a cold air intake system? hows that so?

Ya i've read that. But is a cone filter good for the engine compared to a CAI? Don't want my engine over heating or crapping out on me or something.
11-18-2011
neither will hurt the engine its all what ur going for...more power and dnt care about gas mileage=CAI OR more flow and better MPGs=open cone

Wait, i thought CAI doesn't effect your MPG or if anything makes it go up a smidge? You lose MPG with a CAI? Also, isn't open cone filters illegal? Or will fail emissions?
11-19-2011
open cone filter is legal, it can increase mpg by like maybe a 1 mpg if you drive it like grand ma, and most have mpg go down because now you can hear the sc whine, so to make it whine, you must floor it, and it does sound cool, dont it?

Open cones sound awesome, in my opinion, I've been told that my car sounds like a vacuum cleaner on start up or if its a little cold.

thats not bad i think my GT sounded like a shovel being dragged across cement
11-20-2011
That doesn't sound like that would be good lol
11-20-2011
its a 3800 it can go slow or fast but it will always sound like poop

If you care about your engine replace paper filter often! No cone ;P
