    did a pressure test the radiator is cracked :/. the coolant bottle on the 97 gtp is right behind the headlight on the drivers side, unlike the other wbodies where its on the passenger side by the alternator. It blocks the intake from using the opening behind the headlight to pull in air. most of the aftermarket CAI pull from the headlight opening (so ive seen) unless you go fender. im just going to put a stock newer year intake on it gut it and stick a cone inside.

    i got a 98, same bottle all hidden in the rad support. slap a 30 dollar home made cone filter on there and call that done. theres no real gains from any intake your gonna buy.

    i got a spare 01 box myself id sell. shipping costs cant be fun tho.

    98 Buick Regal GS, F body brakes, Caddy STS wheels, tinted tails L36 bottom end, lightly ported heads, 1.95 roller rockers, headers, gen 5 N* 3.0 pulley, FSIC, 42 lb injectors, a BrandonHall rebuilt trans, DHP tuned and AEM water/Meth injection https://goo.gl/gpV5kW

    try to see if it will fit in a USPS 2-day medium flat rate box since that box is only $12.95
