I'm looking to get better airflow in my 86 2.8 mpfi. I'm trying to decide between making a custom 3" CAI with a K&N cone filter, or just getting the ram air boxes for my y-intake from hawks. If anyone has an opinion I'd love to hear, thanks.

My opinion would be to leave it stock. The best, most free flowing, ultimate ram air setup will do absolutely nothing to make a v6 car faster or more fuel efficient.

If it doesn't do anything then why are there guides on how to do it?

Because people like to feel involved with their cars by doing mods that are low risk and low cost. At some level of performance, the intake becomes a restriction, but you're two cylinders away from achieving that.

Sounds like someone doesn't like v6s ig, lol. Thats ok. Not everyone can afford dropping $50 in gas every time they need to run an errand

Funny considering one of the fastest third gens ever made was a v6! If I were you, I wouldn't just smack an air filter on your car and call it a day. Unfortunately as every car mod goes, modifying one thing means doing another. A fresh air intake won't really give you what you want, it'll look and sound cool though, if that's what you like😏
