ok so i was wondering for our ss/sc if there was a direct replacement filter that we can just slap onto our intakes???

 

RU-4990 is the K&N

If u want AEM its 5 inch filter with a 3 inch flange. i think if im wrong please chime in

 

yah because the reason i just want a new filter is because i dont feel like oiling up my old one and ill do it to much and cause a cell....

 

Man are you kiddidg ?? it takes like 15 minutes to clean and oil it you would rather spend $50 to just replace it?? Oh well to each his own.

 

yea mail it to me with 20 bucks and I'll oil it for you no cel's guarenteed

 

Do the airbox mod in the how to section, it works great.

 

still not the same as getting an intake. the intake opens up ware the stock intake pipe is constrictive.

 

What is the diameter of the k&n pipe, can't be much bigger then the stock one is or it would not fit through the hole to go into the fender well. Even if it was 1/2 and inch wider it's not going to help your intake unless you replace you throttle body as well to make that bigger. I would spend the extra 200 bucks elsewhere, and if you get the metal pipe it will make the intake temp hotter then the plastic stock intake.

 

A--- FREAKING---MEN

I have been preaching this alot recently and its good to hear that i'm not alone.

CAI's look and sound awesome, but paying 230+ bucks for one is ROBBERY on these cars.

I have personally had both an Injen CAI and just a K&N filter on my car and i honestly cannot tell the difference except with sound.

So if you have one, more power to you, but if you are considering getting one for performance gains, just buy a K&N and spend the left over 200 bucks on a motor mount, torque dampener, or downpipe.

 

Napa Makes a Gold Filter for the SS.
Drop it in and go... Better then stock and as good as the AEM and no oiling required.

 

Is that leaving the the airbox cover in tact, if so the mod is better, with the airbox intact the air intake is being plumbed to the airfilter through a hole the size of my nextel phone instead of the air filter being exposed all the way around.

 

it is a stock replacment not an aftermarket cold air.
it is just better then the stock unit and does not require oiling like the K&N
