Intake mod - 11/13/2007 7:59:44 AM    06MCLTZ Posts: 739 Joined: 8/30/2007 Status: offline The K&N intake for the SS, will fit the 3500, and 3900.  The only problem is that you can't use the shield put the intake and tube will fit itself.  Also with the ECM, you have to zip tie it down.   But does work also they sound it sounds mean.  I am not going to do this personally but I plan on making my own. _____________________________ Delta Flow 40's w/3.5" tips Blue LED reverse lights Blue Luminics headlights and foglights Tinted taillights http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2634879/ Post #: 1

I'm not sure if it will actually improve performance.  In the end it might hinder it. _____________________________ Life''s a bitch, don''t vote for one.

RE: Intake mod - 11/15/2007 11:03:42 AM    06MCLTZ Posts: 739 Joined: 8/30/2007 Status: offline I don't believe so.  Kind of the samething we were talking about up top.  With just that you still get a lot of engine heat which hurts performance.  But it is also only about $70.00 < Message edited by 06MCLTZ -- 11/15/2007 11:48:30 AM > _____________________________ Delta Flow 40's w/3.5" tips Blue LED reverse lights Blue Luminics headlights and foglights Tinted taillights http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2634879/ (in reply to blackice) Post #: 7

RE: Intake mod - 11/15/2007 11:50:53 AM    06MCLTZ Posts: 739 Joined: 8/30/2007 Status: offline Yeah you would for sure get the sound from it.  That is the good thing abou the K&N one and open cone filter.  They sound great and have that cool sucking sound.  I know on ebay they make a one that is very similier to this but for the 3.4, so go check it out, should be around the same price  < Message edited by 06MCLTZ -- 11/15/2007 11:51:50 AM > _____________________________ Delta Flow 40's w/3.5" tips Blue LED reverse lights Blue Luminics headlights and foglights Tinted taillights http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2634879/ (in reply to shaboom5) Post #: 9

A warm air intake is still warm air, even if it has a "shield". The only way your going to get respectable power out of just an intake is a true cold air, i.e. reolcating it to the wheel well or bumper. (in reply to 06MCLTZ) Post #: 10
