When I check k&n website. I enter as my car model for 3100 engine. All I get that stock air filter.

http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=33-2141-1

I would like to get this one.
http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=57-3045

Will 3.8 engine K&N air filter work on my 3.1 engine? Because they are both same stock intake?

I would like get this one because it has pcm fit somewhere when I saw installation step by step.

Ebay have this list that my SE is there or ebay got it wrong?

If intake setup is the same, then it'll work.
But near $290 for an intake, I'd pass!

No, I'm not going buy that high price on ebay. I went auto store and saw some cheap price. I just take example as they list on my SE model there to make sure this ebay is right or wrong. KN website didn't mentioned anything on my 3100 engine. I kind like who I should believe. Ebay or KN.

20gtp02: Thank for picture.

hmmm I wonder why they never say about 3.1 engine if we all have same intake on 3.1 and 3.8 engine? I don't understand why. Maybe too much air for 3.1 engine to blow up? wink

Not a huge demand for intakes on that size engine, I assume.

The 3.1 has a different setup the maff is seperate wereas on the 3.8 the maff is in the TB ,so for you to use the K&N setup you would have to cut the intake tube to length .

Basically he is saying custom, which on track you are, just not soo handy at doing it yourself.

Check out some of the grand am sites and see what they use for an intake,or build your own not that difficult!

The Grand Am engine bay may be a little more cramped than ours with the 3100 in it so that may be why he said don't use those.

It's not that hard to make one, there's a writeup in the FAQ. If you can use hose clamps then you can make yourself an intake.
