    Why do you want to leave that tubing? Just asking. Get rid of that corrugated tubing, it's a restriction In air flow!

    And regardless of air restriction, it will flow much better than stock air box.

    So did anyone measure the pressure drop across the stock airbox yet?

    I asked why you left the corrugated tuning, you said it looks 10x cleaner, I said cleaner? Inthink it looks worse than building your own

    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    not trying to be a dick.. trust me.. I like your car and your a good guy..... I like my **** clean.. maybe your version and mine are different.. To me.. Your intake looks hacked... Mine looks stock w a different filter.. Your MIGHT flow more but Im guessing not much, but it still looks cheap like you use fittings from the plumbing department at home depot

    Actually I did use a Fernco coupling from my shop, reason being the rubber matrial use to make these due to pressure ratings is a lot thicker than the cheap **** you buy from an auto parts store, so that it will support the filter and hold up more, and to each his own I guess. And if you want your stuff clean, don't hack it by just putting a filter on the end, spend the money and buy an intake, then it will look clean

    This is the only DIY intake that I think is the best looking, sure I can do this. But it's not needed, and it's a lot better looking than stock with a filter http://www.grandprixforums.net/do-yo...ics-53317.html

    No offense taken, like I said to each his own. I had the same thing you did, and I hated it. I never even wanted to open my hood. But I like this a lot better, if I bought a 45 and another coupler it would be the same thing, but the least distance and less bends makes for better air flow. My job is moving air and making it hot or cold, so air flow is kinda my thing lol. If I still had my original air box I would use my meter and test cfm but I threw it out like a dumb arse lol

    Take out the other half of your airbox homeboy.

    because the ribs inside the duct are restrictive.
    although you probably arent really flowing too much air to have a restriction.
