Is the air intake duct on our Camaro's strictly a dealer part ,or can it be purchased at a local auto parts store like Pep Boys or Auto Zone? Mine has a chunk of it missing where it meets the throttle body and it's sucking unmetered air into the motor.

I can't seem to find a junkyard in my area that has any Camaros , they seem to be scarce around here. I found a junk Firebird but the MAF/air duct set-up is different.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

junkyard/e-bay/classified item. Not only unmetered, but unfiltered too

Duct tape that shizz up for now.

 

I belive ked85 had/has one forsale.

or email Brandon at camaromotorsports@cablelynx.com and tell him what your looking for. Tell him jay from sherwood sent you. He is local for me, and parts all year camaros out.

 

I haven't looked into it, but I would bet if you looked around parts stores, or menards/home depot/ hobo, whatever, you could probably find something that would work.

On that piece, is there any reason for it to be ribbed? Seems like it would be better off smooth to me.

I'd bet that you could get the part for an insane amount of money from the dealer too.

 

it's ribbeed for flexability. I still have mine w/teh pvc tube in it, but I ws planning an selling all the remaining 2.8/3.4 stuff once the current swap is done, just to make sure I'm missing any parts

 

autozone now carries the 3 inch rubber flex pipe, i saw it last time i was there u can rig it up to one of there conefilters, they also sell the cone filter cover to take in less hot air


theres one guy on here that has his going through th steel and under for a ramair effect.....

slp sells one for 200$

 

if you dont want to ghetto rig something up from home depot, you could always try to search for a used one in ebay or classifieds at thirdgen sites such as this.

 

I thought about rigging up something from Home Depot. Unfortunately, they don't have anything that comes close to the diameter of the original duct hose.

A friend of mine in Oklahoma, found one for me today. He said that there are junkyards full of old Camaros where he lives. Where I live they're as scarce as gold.
He'll be shipping it out to me tomorrow. $15.00 + shipping.

E-Bay is a PITA. Unless one has time to sit and watch their bid to the last minute, it's not worth the hassle.

 

there ya go, problem solved....
in terms of ebay... i was just offering a suggestion..
