Brightly colored graphics are one thing- measuring and folding the sheet metal to make it work is something all together different.

This thread addresses the TBI to TPI transition under the hood.

I have seen everything from 4" corragated drain pipe, to PVC to dryer ducts used to draw in cold air. I could never get used to the way they looked. But, the amount of time I spent measuring and fabricating almost justifies the short cut. In the end, I do not see much noticable gain, but I'm pretty sure it can't hurt. For actual performance gains, increasing displacement combined with tuning is always sure to please.

Man, it is so easy...You can use a dremel tool to cut the wind deflector, and just use some thin aluminum..Thats what I did, it looks mean from the front, and it really works great...If someone that knows cars looks at the front of my car, they are instantly tipped off that something is up.....It CAN (Not will) add 1, or more MPH to trap speeds over the stock setup, of course the faster your car is, the more this will help, so it goes great with more motor, and tuning.Tom

Re: TPI Cold Air Intake for TBI

Hello 3rd Geners,

I am pretty much new to the forum and was wondering if anyone has tried this air intake setup I found on ebay? Will it even work with our TBI system.
By the way, My lady is a 92 Camaro RS 305 TBI completely stock. Just starting to look around for mods and would appreciate any and all advice.

Here is the link.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/88-95...rdZ1QQtcZphoto

Hope the link works.
