    On my grand prix I just bought. The guy put a Cai looking air filter on the car. The thing is their is no piping. He put the air filter right on the intake. Is this fine for the car to run? Should I just throw the factory air filter back on?

    It's fine.
    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+.

    Some people while trying to tune have issues with intake setup like that, air does not flow straight, need atleast 6" of straight piping.
    Being stock,sure its fine

    I have the 9" filter right on the end of my TB and my MAF readings didn't jump around at all while tuning..
