Dude.. does it look like I care what you think? If you don't like the intake I made, that's your problem.. I'm not forcing you to make one.. And I couldn't care less about your facts.. keep them to yourself.

Calm down, he has a GP GT... its already enough of a dog so he wouldnt want the hot air to make it even slower.
M90'd 3800's are another story.
yeah, we have another thread about fenderwell vs. open cone. basically, we all know colder air is better. an open cone makes it louder and gets rid of the stock tubing. if you wanna get technical, the gains seen with a fwi aren't all that spectacular anyways. if somebody's trying to build a legit setup, they're going intercooled. chill out a little bit
ONCE AGAIN...
cold air=more restrictive, less gas milage, more power
short ram=better flow, better gas milage, not as much power
so whats better, flow? or cold air?
its been proven greater flow means more for performance than colder air, especially on a boosted car where the goal is to get the air in and out of the engine as fast as possible (open cone and headers)
whoa whoa whoa.... Your IAT sensor isn't all the way in and isn't sealed with anything...
Just drill a hole in the coupler and do that.
drill a hole in the filter and JAM IT IN THURRRR
On my 01 GTP I noticed an increase in MPG, maybe about 1-1.5 mpg increase. I noticed louder blower whine from the supercharger, and a slightly more responsive throttle.
Just did this mod. 50 bucks(40 for filter + 10 for conduit and rubber piece). took like 30 minutes to install! old filter popped out real easy on my 2001 GTP. I really like the new sound of the whine and sucking noise. First mod completed... i think im addicted. great HOW TO![]()
^^That.
I need to get a picture of my intake setup to show you guys how its done.

measured 2.5 mpg increase, better throttle response, increased noise (not neccesarily a bad thing)[/QUOTE]
Did you buy a universal pipe and filter? That kinda looks like the one I bought for my old acura legend I used to have. At any rate, looks great. Has anyone tried one of those universal kits from pep boys? The one I had only cost like 40 bucks and worked great.

The cone is from Spectre, the pipe is a 45* bend polished aluminum 4" diameter IIRC piece from Polished Aluminum Tubing BoostController.com (where I originally got tubing to make custom fork covers for my bike), and the connector is a rubber plumbing coupler with a stainless steel cover and worm drive clamps from Home Depot.
Pairs, that is an AWESOME looking intake setup you have put together there... I have an 06 GT 3800 series III supercharged and I am hoping that the setup shown here will fit on my car. Any differences you know of ? Again, really a clean looking setup!
Pairs, this is surely one of the cleanest intake setups Ive seen on this thread!! :-) I see that it is on an 02 GTP. I would like to order the same parts for my 06 Series III but am wondering what I will have to do with the MAF that currently resides
just behind the factory airbox Any ideas??
