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

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.
 


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??
 
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.
 


you use a rubber coupler

heres my old setup

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
