Yep, thas what I did. Just save up for a K&N, Thrasher, or Wiz Air intake kit best way to go in the end.

Nope. I had a thrasher as my first mod. Biggest waste of 250 bucks I have ever spent. I sold it for 125 and spent 25 bucks at home depot

lol, im picking up a wizaird for 75 for the 04

shaner, adding a length of straight pipe isn't going to help.

If you push the filter toward the front of the car, you may get some cooler air (you're compromising between a HAI and a FWI). However, the longer the intake pipe, and the more bends there are, and the more severe those bends, the worse you will flow air. IMO, you should either go with a HAI with a 45degree bend, and a very short length of PVC; or, a designer CAI (expensive); or, a FWI (longer piping, colder air). Its debatable which is best, I think the HAI has the most potential, but if you're in a lot of stop-and-go conditions where your underhood temps are getting really high, you may do better on average with a CAI or FWI.

Just get a K&N CAI or Wizair or go FWI...w/e works.

ZZP tech articals say the the stock air box on the '99 and up GTP is designed suffentiantly enough and maybe just a K&N filter is the way to go. Any takers here?

But its not loud with the stock box! Half the point is to hear the supercharger.

and spend way too much money for the same thing

thats why you got to find used, the only reason why i am buying one is becuase i dont have the time to mess around with trying to fab up something at the time, its cold out and i have no garrage lol so something that i can throw on is best

*cough* I have a FWI for sale *cough*

ahh but not for a gen 3

01gtshaner has a gen 3 tho :p

call me Shane haha .. and yeah i do :p i saw a pic of it .. i have one question though since we're still on topic *YAY*

When i turn my car on in the morning .. there is a loud .. idk like air sucking noise coming from my engine at idle .. when i give it some gas it sounds normal with the zing of the intake.

Any reason why it would make this loud(er) noise? After the engine heats up (like 3 minutes) its fine.

that is totally normal.

Yep, all of the aftermarket intakes make that noise. I personally love it. A lot of guys hate it
