I have searched and looked everyplace. From what I am learning I am going to have to build a cold air intake if I want one.

The way my car is now I have a filter in the front on the passenger side. I can tell though someone cut the plastic top on the filter can though because they did a lousy job. In other words I have no idea how it was originally routed. I also dont like it because it looks restrictive.

Can I see some pictures of what others have done or maybe some ideas. I was reading about people who took the fog lights out and turned the openings into a cold air intake. That sounds cool and I would love to try that but I am wondering how you guys routed everything to keep it looking good.

I am thinking of putting the MAF sensor right in front of the TPI and routing a y-pipe from there but then I am starting to get lost of a good route to get that to the fog light openings.

 

Those that use the fog lights have Camaros. You can't do that with a Trans Am. Do a search on cold air intakes and you will see plenty of pictures for your Trans Am.

I did one using the LT1 elbow and 3 1/2 inch tubing with my MAF. For your 305 you can use 3" tubing and is less complicated than what I did. So do a search and you will get plenty of ideas. ALLEN

 

Here you go Muffin, its even an 87, Formula though.

 

This brings up another question, how come you can't use a camaro air intake setup on a firebird? Does it have something to do with the hood not closing with it installed, seems like all the holes for attacting it to the front of the engine are there. I have a the set up, I know a little cutting is needed but it would really clean the engine compartment up with the dual filter camaro setup.

Thanks as always

 

Problem is no hood clearance with the lower setting sloped Firebird hoods. I tried it, no workie....

 

Just need a bigger hammer!!!! I'll try my luck and let you know

 

This is the one on my 1989 GTA

 

Wow can you say: "Frankenstein" ?!?

 

90 camaro but should still work

 

Hi 355SS

That looks good. A lot of thought went into your design. Similiar concept to what I did only better.

 

Looks pretty cool 355SS! Very clean.

 

Thanks for the complements, to bad it won't work with my new induction system, I have a lot of time in it and now its up for sale.

 

Hi everyone. I'm new to this site. I am currently looking to build a custom cold air intake for my 87 trans am. 5.0 TPI . So any ideas or pics of what you used or built would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

You might be able to adapt one for a 88-89
