air box

[1996pontiac]

I was wondering what size is the air box going to the tube? i am going to put on a open cone filter.

[BillBoost37]

I think it's 3.75 inches

[1996pontiac]

would you put the filter inside or outside the tube?

[BillBoost37]

Outside..they usually have ribs on teh inside to seal to a tube

[1996pontiac]

ok i might as well just put in right on the tb? thats a 4"?

[Doug 97 gtp]

put some kind of bend on the intake like a 45 or 60 degree roughly 4-6 inches long

PVC 22.5 bend 4" will work fine

I went to go put on my open cone on, i went to go remove the air box and there are wires that hook up to the air bix. what do they do and how can i remove them?

[blueguy]

The IAT in the accordian tube?

Or the PCM in the airbox itself?

IAT, stuff it in the filter and slap it on the TB.

PCM...just yank the harness off of the box it is clipped into.

[1996pontiac]

I think it the pcm. what else would i need to look out for when taking the box out? Im just going to put a cone on the accordian tube

[1996pontiac]

where would i relocate the pcm?

[blueguy]

Where the airbox was.

Just leave it there, it doesn't move.

I did that on both of my WBody's...you're fine.

Zip ties and weather stripping should cease any rattles you may encounter.

So its not bolted to the body of the car. its held in by the air box? im confussed.

[blueguy]

Yes.

The PCM is held in by the airbox.

Which is bolted the the body.

So when you remove the airbox, the PCM isn't bolted to anything.

So just set it there.

It's fine.

You're over analyizing this.

I've changed my opinion on the topic.
