Cool Air Intake

I plan on making my own air intake for my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE (By the way, does SE stand for Special Edition or Standard Equipment or Edition?), what is the best size to do the pipe and best sized cone filter?

Depends. Is your SE a 40th anniversary edition? As for the pipe size, go as big as you want. And go with a 9" cone.
 
I always wondered if it was really special edition, because why the hell would a base model of any car be special? Standard Equip makes a lot more sense lol.
 
There is both. Special Edition and Standard Edition. Special Editions are your 40th Anni, Daytona, GTX. The Standard E will have single exhaust and different rear bumper cover. The 97's will have a catfish front bumper cover as well.
 


Unfortunately I was blessed with the almighty, most useless 3100 but I'm going to do an engine and tranny swap to a 3.8 S/C. I'm just planning ahead of time.Also, anothr quick question, I am planning on putting a turbo in the car once I do the swap but should I get the 3.8 w/o the supercharger or am I better off getting it with the charger?

I was just wondering because people were like "oh it's special edition", "it's standard equipment", "it's standard edition" and "it's short for sedan" and I was just confused lol.

Do you have a 3100 in it? If so don't bother

Are you turboing your car when you do the swap or waiting a while? If you are waiting just run the supercharger for a while.
