definitely, it also sounds cool as hell at WOT, and it'll make your flowmaster sound deeper.99 3800 NBM Camaro - (Xcessive Xcelleration Racing Team)<br />Ram/Cold Air Induction (custom)<br />Modified 4l60e Valve Body<br />Z28 Catback<br />SS Hood <br />Modified 99 GM 3800II <br />JB Performance Engineering<br />jfbperformance@cox.net -
No this will not work on your car. Only good for 99+, the 98's have a throttle body that points down and to the side a bit. The 99+ TB points streight. There is not way to use the PVC trick on a 98. I did howerver manage to rig up something one day. I got some dryer duct hose and removed the air silencer and went from the lid to the TB with the dryer duct hose. This worked better but something that I only used as temporary. I dont think its as affective as the PVC trick on 99's. And it looked ghetto as all hell. I suggest saving your time dont ghetto up your car and buy a whisper lid. The Whisper lid sales for about $120 and is worth every penny.Comment

it'll work fine on a 98 you just have to to find a different piece of material to go between the lid and TB.AIM: escalier deverre<br />\'02 Pearl Blue Metallic RSX-S (daily driver)<br />\'98 Black Firebird<br />98 V6 turbocharged to 02 LS1 swap<br />\'02 LS1/4L60E<br />LS6 Block, LS6 Intake Manifold, Thunder Racing 215/220 .600/.523/115 Cam, Titanium Retainers, Crane Double Valve Springs, 125 shot NX Wet Kit w/ NOS brand Purge, True Dual \"H\" Pipe w/ two chambers and dumps, 17x11(rear) and 17x9.5(front) Black Powdercoated ZR1 Replicas on 315 and 275 BFGoodrich Comp T/A\'s (Street)/ET Drags/Skinnies on Weldlites(Track), 3.42/LSDComment

hey be careful a friend of mine read in an article the other day that using pvc around the engine is dangerous cause of the heat the engine produces it oculd melt the pipe and release a gas into the engine block that could ruin the heads and intake all together so i might suggest using a different material other than pvc.
