This is the best price I've found- $399 shipped. But it would be nice if you would give our supporting vendors a shot at matching the price. That's what I'm going to do when I order mine...

I would like to purchase the gmpp exhaust but that system is to pricey. I could purchase quite a bit of other mods along with the Magnaflow system and still have some money left over for what you are purchasing the gmpp exhaust for.

well after seeing the engine again, I can see that does look quite different than the manifold in my 2.4. Looks like a custom upper intake would be mandatory, if this would even fit at all.

Where do you get a replacement filter for the GMPP Intake?

A replacent filter isnt needed, the filter is a oil-less lifetime filter, you only have to clean it and pop it back in.

That is the seller and cap I ordered, I like the gunmetal finish a lot, doesn't stand out as much as the polish would.
This GTO cap fit right?

I did some investigation into this Cold Air Intake...

For the ones that already installed it...
Have you notice theres, a few tooling holes in the sheet metal construction?

Also the four corners where the sheet metal is bent , is some very
large holes....

Also two sizable openings where the two mounting tabs/threaded nuts are...

The four pieces of rubber you get with it.. doesn't complete go around the
the round corners....

All of this is allowing the hot air in the engine compartment go inside of the Air box...

I'll tell you what I suggest after a few replies are written...

Yes it did, screwed right in.

I noticed a 1 MPG increase in fuel economy going from the CGS intake and Magnaflow exhaust to the GMPP intake and Magnaflow exhaust. I now AVERAGE 28.5-29 MPG to the gallon on 93 octane.

I'm not overly concerned about the small little holes in the box, if it was something that would greatly affect anything, I'm sure GM would have modified the design.
