Help! Need a new intake!
Ok here's the thing, I have a Firebird, and I'm sure y'all know about how much that little side box and the air duct suck 
I'm planning on getting a K&N cone filter, and with this is mind i was thinking... hey why don't I get a full K&N intake? Well they don't have them.... so.... is there any other ones out there or am I better off making one?
Any ideas you guys could pass along would be greatly appreciated, and pictures too of your intakes if possible. Thanks in advance.
PS: I'm not interested in getting a new hood for my intake here, just a good stock replacement.

They do not exist unless you buy a duplicate intake of your version and open it up (port it).
During my 3.4 swap, I tried, for about 10 minutes to use the 1995 3.4 intake one I got with my engine.
Nope.
Bummer.
Oh well.

The best intake is the one mentioned in the tech section; look for the article about making a ram-air for TPI. (85-89 Camaro V6's have the same intake design as the TPI V8's.)
