Help on Intake on 87 Camaro

Hi...I am wanting to change my Intake into a air filter and would like to know if any one has done that and what type of changes(good and bad) it did to the car...
Also...would like to know what you did to get it there

You mean remove the ducting and just stick a cone filter on an 87 Camaro? Forget it, you have a MAF sensor and the cone would hit your accessory belt. The Camaro TPI ducting is about as good as it gets, except for a Ram Air, and that is a challenge with a MAF car.

i dont know what differences there are between MAF and what my car has (92 3.1L...i know its not MAF but cant remember what it is). anyway, all i did was remove all the factory stuff ('cept kept the rubber flex hose coming from the intake). then led piping straight down toward the ground and had a K&N at the end of it. looks kinda ghetto-ish, i coulda made it professional looking but it would have cost over $100. as it was, it costs $49 for the filter, tubing, and various other little costs. works good though, you can feel an improvement till the engine warms up, then it feels normal, but supposedly gets better gas mileage still

oh yeah, you have to drill a hole in the tubing to screw the IAT into (if '87 used IAT, not sure if they did)

edit: if you have a v-8, obviously you can't run the tubing down in front of the engine block, but alot of people run theirs to the front corner of their car...pretty much how the stock setup is, 'cept there's a filter a the end instead of that crappy airbox
