Car:
2001 Pontiac Firebird V6 3.8L
Only mod is Flowmasters cat-back.
-------------------------------------
Alright so last weekend I headed to Miami to spend time with my family, so after all the Christmas craziness, I was heading back to my place and I just went "What the hell, let me just get this out of the way".
So i went to this muffler place I was told and got them. I know I was told to get Magnaflow instead of Flowmasters but it was more money and to be honest, I really like the sound.
At low RPM's it has a very nice V8-like rumble (Mine is a V6). At high RPM's it does kind of go Honda-style but to tell you the truth, Im happy with it. I wasnt expecting it to be so loud.
So this was my first mod to my car. At last it isnt stock anymore. I want to continue so I guess the next step should be a CAI. But which? I am fairly confused in this matter.
Whats the diffence between:
Granatelli Motorsports High Flow Lid or even the one that SLP sells, its a lid too. I dont understand what they do though.
and the:
K&N FIPK Gen II Air Intake Kit
???
Do both work the same? The K&N is double the cost of the first one and im unsure of what the first one does.
As of right now im leaning towards getting the K&N for $309 (cheapest I could find) but the price is holding me back and everytime i tell a friend im gonna do it, they say they got their for like 100-120$ and $300 is too much. Which I think the same.
I have been told to look in ebay and when i do the search and narrow it down to my car etc, theres only 2 CAI and they are $351 which are the same K&N I was talking about earlier that I found for $309. I havent found any "cheap" CAI in ebay as I had been told.
Other option would be to make a custom one. My dad works as a AC Tech and he works using some PVC pipes etc and I guess as a last result, we could make a custom one. Does anyone have a link to a very detailed guide? But I want to do this as a last result, if I could find something cheaper it would be better.
Sorry for the long post, any help will be greatly appreciated as I am very confused in this matter. Thanks.
