I don't know the scientific reason why but it's normal.

That godawful noise when cold is the EGR valve working. Perfectly normal. That's one reason GM put that awful intake set up in. No one would buy a car that sounds like these do with free'er flowin intakes.

Forcing cold air in won't hurt anything. As for the brackets I wouldn't drive without them for very long. They help to stiffen the front end and obsorb energy in a collision reducing personal injury.

Got to ask but what inlet size on a 3" pvc intake for a 9" cone? Or is there only one size and I'm just brain dead right now?

Hello,

If you are ordering a filter, you will ask for a 9" cone with a 4" connector.

The size of the filter is referring to the length, not the connector size. There is also a 7" filter available in cone. The connector size also comes in 3.5" IIRC, in both sizes.


This is one square MM in the 3" pipe - ( )
This is one square MM in the filter - (X)

If the filter were only 3" in diameter, you wouldn't be able to draw much air through it....The stock filter has much more area then a 3" circle, and it doesn't flow as well as some people like.
With the restriction of the filter, you need to compensate by allowing more area.

Later now,
Clint

A downpipe or the PCM is good.
You can go either with a DHP or Intense PCM. About 60% or so favor DHP based on tons of threads from here and ClubGP.

yeah, you'll need to get a 3" D/P on your list soon. If you're going to swap out your pulley, or if you already did, you'll want a D/P.

Yeah, I think most here run the I-PCM. I had a minor issue with mine when I first got it. Intense sent me a new one UPS next day.

Zull, when you install your new PCM you may notice the car runs a little rough, and a little harder to start. This is normal. It will clear up within a day or so.
