06 monte ss cold air intake
So I've been needing to change out the stock intake box because I know with a Cold Air Intake a.k.a CAI it helps produce HP not WHP LoL or maybe just a little. But it also help's the car breath better such as an exhaust system would.
I'm looking to get a K&N Cold Air Intake.
The cheapest i can find is around $290ish from a retailer online & even on e-Bay they are going 4 just as much as well.
I love the fact that the K&N CAI is left at that plastic black because those shinny aluminum pipe's get HOT. O ya just to also let you know I'm planning on running Mass Air Flow (MAF) on the CAI as well. I know where to buy one already online 4 a good price & I know 4 the most part it's just a plug & play & it also come's with instructions lol
Can anyone let me know if that is a correct price for a K&N Cold Air Intake or have any suggestions for a Cold Air Intake???
I DON'T WANT THAT SHINNY ALUMINUM PIPPING BECAUSE IT GET'S VERY HOT AND LS MOTOR'S ALREADY GET HOT LOL

I would recommend the Coldairinductions CAI that Chris (Monte Carlo 3831) recommended. It used the stock intake tube, and the box itself is made out of insulated aluminum. Great product! And its actually a tiny bit cheaper that $290.00
As for the MAF, the stock MAF that GM uses is more than good enough. I've actually been told by a speed shop that the OEM GM and Ford MAF's are better quality that anything aftermarket you can buy as far as MAF's go.
Can a mod please move this thread? Thanks!

The K&N doesn't have the best heat shield (I have one on my 00) You can't beat a fully enclosed box like that.

It goes where the box you currently has sits. It's not a short ram because it's not just a tiny pipe with a cone on the end of it and no heat shield. It's a fully enclosed box, with a larger than stock box opening and a cone filter which pulls in way more air, and makes sure all of it is COLD.

From wat i'm hearing this one u are showing me does seem to b a hell of a lot better than what the K&N CAI offer's cuz the heat shield doesn't seem like much lol
U also said that this CAI take's
"...a larger than stock box opening and a CONE FILTER which pulls in way more air,and makes sure all of it is COLD."
I think i know which CONE Filter's you are talking about. I believe K&N make one them n u can order them for like replacement's n such for not too bad of price
As long as it's not the aluminum/metal pipping CAI lol sound's SWEET!

As for the MAF do u have any page link's or n e type of fact's to possibly back that up lol not trying to be a dick but i just saw a MAF on my boy's Maxima and he's car picked up quick with just an intake a MAF.
Not too sure if ur local speed shop knows what they are talking bout because MAF a.k.a Mass Air Flow....relocates your sensor and in a way "tricks" it to make it read colder than wat it really is.
Then make's more fuel pump out or give out more fuel as well as air. Pretty much the system is getting tricked n thinking it's running colder than wat it really is their for it allow's MASSIVE AIR FLOW AND FUEL.
