Air Intake Tube

[Downtown]

Does anyone make a direct replacement tube/elbow from the throttle body to the stock airbox that eliminates the baffles in the stock elbow?

I think you need those baffles with the stock air box. My understanding is it is
a air reservoir. But maybe Charlie can clear that up.

It's a resonator. It's design is to cut down on noise in the intake stream. Removing that only increases the sound.
I know someone has done that but I can't find it.

I think they do one similar to this.

Thanks. I asked Jetttstrem to send a picture, they di not have one on their website.

I'm looking for something to compliment the Holden Radiator cover you sent me!

I did this one as a temporary solution, but I've grown to like it...clean look. I used a 3.5" aluminum tube that was bent to 115 deg with a 6" radius. I used available flex couplings to to attach at each end. I fabricated an adapter for the vent tube and welded it in, this retained the push lock connector to easily swap out with the OE box.

Geee hrmmm I wonder if he works for K&N? ROFL

Chris...I do collect a paycheck there, but "work" would be a overstatement, more like fun...Great Company! Great People!:thumbsup:

Nice work Filterman! That looks factory. I remember what factory looks like.......

Thanks for posting. I forgot who did it. Inland Empire is my old stomping grounds.

You can get a 4" flexible tube made by Spectre at Pep Boys for around $25.

I am assuming this is a one-off thing that you fabbed for yourself?? Any chance this can re-produced for those of us without access to a pipe bender or any form of welding??

I heard good things about the Yella Terra, Livernoise can get ya one.

When is K&N suppose to come out with their CAI? I figured they would have one by now! :(

Did this tube ever become available by K&N?

Why bother? :hang:

[shane]

i have the yella terra works just fine

[syP]

my GTO friend just picked up a lingenfelter intake for this car.. so he gave me his stock tubing..

had to use a different piece of hose for the "pcv?" but it looks stock, and cutout ALL those resonators. Engine sounds a little louder and throttle feels a LITTLE more responsive.


still stock airbox and filter though.

:charlie3:

The pictures of his "temporary" setup are exactly what I want. I'm not looking to make a "custom" Home Depot CAI. :no:
