    I wouldnt buy just the filter..i also have a 02' Gp se with the 3.1L and i couldn't find a cold air intake for it and i also just bought the cone filter and it didnt do anything but make a little noise..and because it's a flex intake and you cant take the air box all the way (just the front half) because they put the PCM in the box right in front of the filter in the same box..everyone i talked to said i would have to build my own....as for other mods i cant find anything other bolt on's.. so good luck with what-ever you deside to do..and let me know if you find anything

    youre supposed to take the air box, corrugated tubing and all out then leave the PCM sit where the air box was. then you put the cone right on your throttle body. however, youre right about it not doing much but make a little noise.

    Yea i know i just half the box out and stuck the filter on the MAF, But i tried it your way and took everything out and the PCM was lose and bounced around, and with it not doing anything but making noise it wasnt worth the effert of making a strap to hold down the PCM..I'll post a pic of the way i did it sometime this weekend

    Yeah, they're the same size. You'll need a 4" Inside diameter filter to fit over the throttle body.

    You wont really feel a difference, but the car will love you way more..
    More flow = happier car
    Happier car = happier person

    Therefore, U-bend delete makes you happy

    The intake +ubend delete would probably help you pick up a little gas mileage. Hell I went from 18mpg on the Hwy to upwards of 36mpg Hwy with my mods...

    Taking out the U-bend is simple, and a great mod, but as far as visuals go, you could always yank out a few panels (dash, center console, armrest, etc) and take a can of paint/clear to them, makes a world of difference.

    I wont get into any detail with audio, but if you know it, then you'll know what to do, if not, then dont worry about it.

    You could always take some sand paper to the exhaust tips and make them shiny, always looks good.

    Yeah, seriously, it takes all over...5minutes each side?? Very easy to do, and it'd save you money.

    And as for the 18mpg, I put a junkyard motor in, and the first few months of having it in, it chugged gas...
    That's even after running cleaners through it, flushing the motor, and a good tune up.
