pics of intake

would like to see pics of different intake options. I am debating on if I am going to build my own or buy a prebuilt one. I think I can build on for about $75 or so but need to see some pics to see if it is as feasable as I think it is.

It's an SS but you get the idea.

x2?

Also, GDZ...was the GMPP fairly loud? Of all the one's I've seen, I think I like that best (besides your AWESOME current setup!). Would like to find one if I can.

The CGS was louder. I dynod the CGS, GMPP and stock a while back. The only one which showed any real advantage over stock was the GMPP but that was in a limited RPM range. The stock intake is pretty good as it is.

CGS was mostly a coolness thing. It really looked great and clened up the engine area. I liked the look on the GMPP but IMO not worth the money.

The stock was by far the quietest, and it really performed well.

Mind you I did add a nitrous set up which added to the fun but none of those compare to having the turbo.

Thanks for the info. I just like the looks of the GMPP. I know that they won't do that much, if anything for performance. If I had my choice of mods, it'd be trading my LT in on that black SS taunting me from the dealership :)

During downpours , I tape off the side in front of the filter.

Have only done that 3-4 times. Otherwise no problems.
