Engine is 3.8 N/A..so What would be more beneficial? The colder air from say, a fenderwell? Or just the old "Slap a big*** cone on the throttlebody!!" I would think the colder air as I am not SC'd..., but either way im going to build my own to save me some pennies.. Any thoughts??

Doesn't matter. Make it easy and either slap a giant cone on the tb. Or use 4" pvc to make a short ram. Because honestly, once it gets to the throttle body, no matter how cold it is, its gonna heat up real quick once it hits the uim

So what size cone should I get?...as I think the TB is 3 1/4 outer diameter right??

put a little bit of tubing on it to put it closer to the fender/behind the headlight area. its easy to put a filter on the throttle body, but it also looks ghetto, too.

Agreed nick. Mine has a couple inches of the filter in the fender well

So it doesn't effect performance either way? I can only imagine the cone directly on the TB being needed for super small SC pulleys right? Ill pick up some 45 pvc or see if my local auto part store has some 45 exaust tubing.. What size cone should i get?..HUGE? xD Also BTW, what would the difference be if i just reused the stock tubing?? would it restrict airflow??

yes i would. home depot, 4" 45 angle pvc pipe. 3.5-4 coupler, 9" cone filter

cai for n/a cars
open cone for f/i cars

CAI for both. You are not going to see much gains but colder air is colder air. If the temp of the air is colder coming in then it is going to take longer for it to get hotter.

The stock rubber tube works alright. You just need to get rid of the tabs. Its a pain getting the filter onto it but once its on it wont come of. Then you dont need to worry about moving the sensor but I cant imagine that being to hard of job either.
01-22-2012
umm wat? nooo get rid of the corrugated tube unless youre an idiot. that messes up the air so bad
01-22-2012
I left it. Couldnt find anything that would work plus it works fine for going here and there like a normal car.
01-22-2012
yeah my old intake i left it on but its not hard just drill a hole for the iat
01-22-2012
CAI for all.
01-22-2012
you use a rubber coupler
heres my old setup
current

Ah, that looks good. Next project for sure.

I built an FWI for my car with the stock rubber elbow and a 45° elbow and some sections of tubing. They're pretty cheap to build and for a GT that's what I'd use since you don't have to worry about the heaton
