Dual Snorkel Question

Currently I have the CAI that i made out of a K&N type filter and 3" pvc. I was reading and IM pretty sure ill get more air/gains from a dual modded snorkel set-up. Does anyone know where I might find a dual snorkel?

I found one but the person said "Are you talking about the type the Iroc's and the 2.8l engines had? If so then I have one for ya w/ MAF sensor if you want it. I'd say$60.00 w/MAF or $45.00 w/o MAF. Let me know."

Im not sure what cam on those. Im looken for the kind that requires two filters

Check with IROCZDAVE. I got my dual snorkel from him. Good prices and clean parts.

Jesse,

What kind of engine do you have?

The intake that sits on top of the radiator with 2 K&N's is usually for the TPI engines. The dual snorkel is for the throttle body LO3 engine and is a copy or duplicate of the L69 HO intake from approx '84 or '85 (I may be wrong on these years).

You got me on that one. I am not familiar with the 3.1 engine.

So, what you are looking for is the MPFI air box?
I have a 2.8l v-6 MPFI air cleaner assembly, with the air temp sender in it, and I think I also have the air hose, and the MAF sensor, It might even have some filters in it to.
I got it out of my old 85 Camaro.
pm me if you want it, I'll make you a deal on it.

The 2.8L/3.1 MPFI & the TPI V-8's use the same dual filter setup, the round end that connects to the TB is a little different between 6's & 8's though.

You want one from the 2.8l V6 as it already has the fitting for the IAT sensor. The V8 ones don't have the fitting.

Only other thing is a filler piece to take the place of the MAF. I used a soup can for a while then made a nice one from a piece of PVC. Search the V6 board, there are even pics of the air intake posted.
