    We normally make them for cheap, because buying one for $200 is ludacris.

    Read through this, you'll get an idea of what you can buy to make one yourself. And still spend under 80 bucks.

    Just get a $30 spectre filter from Advanced Auto or something and stick it right on the end of the throttle body...Cheap and it sounds amazing.

    Get rid of the stock tubing and throw the filter on the throttle body or use PV piping in place of the stock tubing

    Or if you just have to have some flash like me and few others here do this 3.5" PIPE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX SE GT GTP 3.8 3.8L V6 AIR INTAKE 97 1998 1999-2003 | eBay
    FREE Shipping and cheap, hence why I bought one LOL.

    but the only thing is.. shouldnt the filter be heat protected?

    Um.. Yes the air box has to come out, it's only 3 bolts. No the filter does not need to be protected.
    Here is mine

    It could be bigger. For the $27 free ship. Could not pass it up. It is 3.5" so that works for me. Took me all of 15 minutes to install. AND the SC whine is sooo NICE
