I was wondering where the best deal on the gmpp intake is. The best I could find was on createnginedepot for 267.95. That is still more then I wanna pay, so does anyone know where I can find if for cheaper? Thanks.

 

GM PART # 17800653
CATEGORY: All
PACK QTY: 1 CORE CHARGE: $0.00
GM LIST: $325.00
OUR PRICE: $250.26

Gm Parts Direct.com listing -- on sale this month. That's the lowest I've seen it so far.

 

gmpartsdirect.com has it for 250.26. hope that helps.

 

I think I'm seeing double. But does anyone on here work for a dealership and can get like an employee price for me?

 

Wow, so this means if you can order it through gmpartsdirect.com $250.06 then I was getting screwed because I was at the stealerships and they wanted $440 for the Intake and installation.

 

aw WTF! i just got it from crate engine depot for 280 they wanted over 300 at gm parts direct when i ordered it...which was 2 weeks ago!!!

 

Ain't that something.. Purchased mine from 'crate' for 267 plus shipping and not getting 'till this tuesday. Darn.. wish i waited one extra week.

 

i guess thats life. anyway, if u get it anywhere under 300, its def worth it.

 

Here's something to make you feel better....I wanted the GMPP Intake and was waiting for its' release in September. GMPartsDirect or Crateenginedepot wasn't able to get it (I called) when it was first released so I ended up paying $327 + tax to my local Chevy dealer. I give credit to the parts guy that was able to get it -- probably one of the first sold on this round.

 

i've got a friend ordering one at his dealership..but it will still be like 270

 

75$ at most
5ft of both 3/4 and I think other is like 3/16th or somthing radiaotr hoses
3 90* copper elbows and 1 copper barb to move the radiator overflow to the left of engine
6 medium hose clamps and 2 small hose clamps
2 45* and 1 22*, you'll have to cut 1 45* to drop it lower so it clears the hood, and the 22* can be cut so it doesn't go all the way into the filter
3 hose connectors
6 hose clamps


And maybe 2-4 hours (depends on if you take your time) to relocate radiator overflow, cut hole for maf sensor, and install piping

noone likes my idea, but I have the loudest intake in the United States, and if anyone wants to challenge that I'll meet up with ya

Ohh and Heatsoak isn't a problem thanks to the fact that we have aftercoolers (once it gets into SC it'll heat up anyway the whole point of the cooler is to get temps down to ambient) but each his own

 

i like the way that intake looks

 

As of June 9 2006 dealer cost is $227.50, list price is $325.00. They are in business to make money, so take it from there. The dealer I work at charges employees 15% over cost.

they charge employees more??

 

Thank you I like the way the intake looks, but I LOVE the sound, I have stock exhaust (3"cat + downpipe) and the exhaust is a bit louder but enough to hear it, but the intake you can hear far and wide haha.

 

Hey Julex Where did you get your metal tubing and rubber parts from?

 

both from pep boys, or any other autoparts store. Look in the ricer section . and it's plastic tubing and rubber couplings, the plastic gets rid of heat pretty quickly, and the rubber coupling give you a little wiggle room.

Even though many ragged on me I've proven all there theories wrong (Heat soak didn't affect me as I raced a buddy of mine and I used to have close to a car length ahead, now I'm past a car length. That's not bearings it's belt squeal. And I don't throw codes [ I also have hptuners so my tune probably prevents that ]
