Allow me first to mention that this is NOT my original Idea. I stole what penquinpie and others had done and hopefully made it a little easier to grasp.

FIRST

Get a SPARE airbox top. Don't use your only one. You'll need it for service visits and just in case you mess up.

SECOND

Cut the box top and sides off. the idea is to leave the tube the MAF goes into and a little lip to keep the filter from slipping off.




THIRD

Attach a filter. I used a 3.5 inch AEM DryFlow. a 3.0 inch WILL fit... if you CRAM it on.


THATS IT. these guys aren't kidding when they say it's easy to do. now, watch the Video.

Cone Filter install - YouTube

sorry for the crap quality, i'm working on a better version

 

nice job! good video

 

Ha ha thats the exact same mod I did for Pengquin pie

 

oh, i know. i just found the instructions to be kinda confusing. hense the movie.

edit: ONE THOUSAND

 

did not notice the movie, cool

 

how do you like it?

 

actually, pulled it right back off. i only did it to see how it could be done. with as much as it is hot and humid in this part of florida, engine compartment air is way too warm.. sounded pretty wicked, but my engine temp went up like 4 degrees... at night.

 

too bad, a tad cooler where I live at so it worked fine

 

well, i plan to do a CAI or the GMPP intake. depending on what feels like a good idea at the time. anything SRI just doesn't work whent he average temp is over 90 degrees.

 

Well you should get the injen then its a cai, but converts to sr in time for hurricane season

 

that's kinda the plan, or the GMPP which still uses most of the factory plumbing... kinda like a "rich mans airbox mod" i actually posted the modded box and filter on the classifieds. if i can get the cost of the filter back, i'm happy. it's a loss, but i was really curious how it would sound.

 

where would i get another airbox top?

 

Go to the junkyard or find a member who doesnt want theirs, I already gave mine to Pengquin pie

 

very nice write up!

i do however feel the "sluggishness" of the engine during a hot day....so maybe ill leave it till its winter and put it back on

i like the fact that its quiet unless you nail the gas (at least for auto tranny) :P

 

btw this is mike's idea at first. credit to him! its a very nice idea

 

mason what are you doin up young man? get to bed

 

btw.....does 3.5 fit fine? coz im thinking of switching to AEM once my filter is due for re-oil

 

lol just got back from lazer tag....fun nite :P

also drank 2 bubble teas so im probably gonna be awake for a while

 

My TwM short shifter will be put on this comming week

 

haha cool...

my next mod will involve trying to get GM to replace most of the plastics of my car...up to the 07 standard ......i really want a quieter interior :P

 

I have not got around to this yet but you can use foam tape to take care of alot of pillar rattles etc.etc..

 

haha nah i dont have time for that....id rather get them do that for me and request a grand prix as a rental

 

btw mike...do you experience more engine vibration at say......2k - 3k rpm under heavy load with ur injen?

 

Dont really get engine vibration,heavy load?

 

yup it vibrates a bit more and i get this rattle at that rpm range ? ....
