K&N cold air intake installed.

wet leaves will not be a issue with this intake, it sits where the old air box used too sit, safe from water, debris such as wet leaves... one of the reasons i got the kit... the second reason i got the kit was beacuse it came with a mounting bracket for my PCM with rubber grommets and the works, the pcm is safe fastened down and secure now and is not retro fitted too anything, it came with an adapter set for my MAF sensor, and a heat shroud that separates the air filter from the engine bay that fits the engine bay like a glove... could have easily made my own set up for much cheaper admittedly... BUT that takes a lot of time screwing around, and i do not have a regular 40 hour a week job, i work 6 days a week sometimes 12 hours a day a 2nd shift job plus i am a youth group leader so on the weekends i am doing that... no time for fiddle faddling at minards and autozone Napa Orelies too peace together my own kit... thats why i got the K&N kit and didn't make my own, would have had more fun making it myself but i have no time, takes a hour or less too install the kit in my car vs hours of tinkering cutting measuring parts finding....

LOL! But I'm with Stalker69 on this one.. i'm probs gonna get a K&N one too just cause I don't have time to tinker.. and I'll pay good moneys for something I know will work good the first time and not need to be messed with trying to get things to work and to fix **** when it breaks because I didn't know how to do something and did it wrong.

i defenetly have more power better throttle response...it supposedly added some 16HP too the wheels according too the graph it gave me testing a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix base...

I find it funny that you only mentioned the mad crazy horsepower before and now you're talking about PCM "protection". We aren't falling for it NOOB!

Omg its a ****ing intake there's no special engineering to it. Your connecting pipes with hose couplers.

False!

K&N Engineering invented the high performance cotton gauze air filter in 1969 and continues to build and refine high performance air filters and high flow intake systems in Riverside California.

when i said increases in throttle response and a increase in performance i meant a slight increase in performance not a major increase or a "crazy increase in performance." you are over exaggerating the whole thing...

send me one that looks nice and all painted nice then fits perfectly with no problems if it so damn easy.... and i'll pay you strictly for the parts only..

Lol I'm sorry my job title is not schmidty's *****. You can simply go on eBay buy a 3.25 coupler a piece of aluminum tubing a filter and make your own in 30min. The k&n BTW does not seal off completely so its not a true cai. And the filter location on gxp models can rub the pcm wiring harness overtime causing issues. So have fun with that. In the end it takes the time of an oil change to make your own cai. Why overpay? I'm sure if you had money to throw around im sure you wouldn't be driving a grand Prix..

Took me all of 5 minutes to put that together after the parts came in from amazon. It looks fine and likely outperforms any CAI I could try and finagle into that space while costing a total of like $50-60. And it only cost that much because I opted for the bigger KN filter, 4" piping (due to n*/lq4), and fancy aluminum pipe and colour matching coupler. All I did was figure out the lowest angle bend pipe I could get away with, and order that, a coupler and a filter off amazon. It literally fits perfect and the angle and size is perfect.

I used to have a thrasher CAI before I had a northstar and other things and it fit together way worse and looked way worse than my current setup.
