the airbox is what, where the air filter is contained right?
thanks

 

Yea that is where the airfilter is kept. Should be in front of your coolant container.

 

thanks trans87, yea i just removed that thing and put on a cone filter- i think its a little better to breath that way- what do you guys think?

 

How did you make your air intake? What size K&N cone did you use? I have been wanting to do this but couldn't figure out how to do it properly. The air intake on the stock Firebird is really restrictive.

 

well, first off it wasn't a k&n air filter, it is by "american products company" think its called the intimadator or something (i attached a pic of what it looks like, but this is from my grand am 4 an idea) i got it at PEP BOYS for about 26 bucks after tax- it comes in 1 size-
so i disconnected by original airbox w/ air filter, and attached the cone to the black plastic pipe (goes to the engine) the pipe fits snug over the cone filter! not to bad of a setup, huh? plus it looks hot! :hail:

any comments, what kind of hp you think that should make? i was thinking something like about 4-5?

 

So you just took out the air box and put a filter on the pipe that goes to the airbox? Pretty good setup though. Should give you a couple of horses and help with breathing. I think anything is better than what we have now on the car.
