Cold Air Intake

[conpeez9]

Hey guys, I am making the attempt to build my own cold air intake on my 1998 Grand Prix GTP, but I have some questions in which I am hoping can be answered:
1) I've tried my research, and I may just be missing something, but would I need a 4" air intake pipe? Or a 3"? This decifers the size of filter I need to buy as well.
2) Has anyone else made this attempt, and built a properly function housing for one? If so, could I get the dimensions?
3) Do you have any tips or suggestions on me doing this?
If I could get some answers and help that would be great! Thank you very much!

P.S. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, I am new to this forum.

i used a 3 inch pvc elbow. one side is 3 inches, the other fatter side (where the next pipe would be glued in) is 4 inches. 4 inch filter fits right on the end.

the other side get a coupler and 2 hose clamps one side goes on the TB the other to the elbow.

you need to drill a hole for the ait sensor too. find a drill bit that fits into the stock hole, then drill it in the pvc pipe. i used some gorilla glue to seal it in there.

if your want to paint it, hang it with a string and a pencil to hold the string sand it up a bit, then paint it.

This is how my FWI turned out.


2 22° bends and a straight section. I also have heat reflective tape to wrap it in.

That stuff is super thin plastic and heats up a lot my buddy just had to make one using that and it actually melted my PVC stays super cold and absorbs zero heat I'm quite happy with it
