I have a 2000 v6 3.8L and just had a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system added. It sounds great, I'm happy with it, but I want to know if adding K&N cold air intake would be worth the money.
Is there a difference between just "air intake" and "'cold' air intake"...? Are they the same thing?
What would the benefits of adding it be? (hoping for better gas mileage... i get 17 mpg now)
Would ebay be the best place to look for the intake?
Thanks.
If you look in the search section, you will find a lot of information and options already discussed. you will find the info you need a lot faster that way.
you should see better gas mileage and more hp but for the price of some of these kits compared to just making your own, i sometimes wonder if they are worth it. there isnt any difference between cold and non cold air intake. like i said, do a search and you'll find a lot of options. I would also look on ebay cause it will hopefulyl give you a good idea of whats out there.
if you have a good enough flow of cash buy one it will help the restrictive one you now have, IF YOU are not too full on cash then make on not hard go to intakehoses.com your TB is slightly smaller then 4" and just do a 4" to 3" 90* elbow then a 3inch pipe and put a filter you can buy at autozone,pep boys etc.... your a lil luckyer cause your TB isn't curved down like mines so it will be easyer hope that helps and yes you can tell the diff. also i dont know the main diff btwn the actual K&N and the knock offs at the store that look the same maybe they flow a whole lot better maybe not
I want to make my own intake also but I have a 98 camaro what steps should I take or is the fipk intake my only option. What can I do to my stock box lid I see some people cut a hole in theres is this good or not
go to where i did make own intake good idea bad idea i just made one cost me 45 dollars not done gonna make it furthur down when the right part comes in i mean i'm making my own for no more then 70 all together vs buking the cold air intake and whipser lid and filter for like 250.00 i have the pics on my good idea bad idea post on here
You can cut holes in the bottom of your box, shave the fins out of the lid and replace the silencer. It would be the cheapest way to do it if you aren't looking to spend much money. The other option is to buy a whisper lid and a cold air kit like your link. Replacing the stock paper filter would also be a good idea.
I have always wondered what does the stock air box really do I mean if can cut holes into it and shave it and stuff what does all that do for it just wanna know
Cutting holes in the bottom of the stock air box is called the free ram air mod. It allows air from your air dam to come up into the bottom of your filter.
The other option is to buy a whisper lid and a cold air kit like your link. Replacing the stock paper filter would also be a good idea.
You don't need anything else with the whisper lid if you don't want to buy anything else. You could go whisper lid & free ram air mod, or whisper lid & cold air kit, or just whisper lid.
