Air Intake Question

Anyone ever see an air intake like this? It is on my 89 GTA 5.7L. Not sure where it came from but it doesn't look like the stock one.
Thanks.

Re: Air Intake Question

I have the exact same one on my 87 GTA 5.7 - it's all original

Re: Air Intake Question

Its stock but not "correct" for 88-89 cars.

This is "correct" for 88-89 cars

Thanks. All my other '89 5.7 cars had what TTop350 shows. SOmeone must have replaced this with an older unit.

Re: Air Intake Question

Is it a very early '89 model?

88 and 89 used the same intake setup, I'm guessing for serp belt setup clearance and a power bump over the 85-87 setup.

Re: Air Intake Question

The pre-88 setup left a lot of room for improvement, especially for L98s.

Ironic or coincidental? You posted your reply at 3:05. I posted my reply at 3:50. It's almost as if it were planned.
