Cam'ron Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 2003 Monte Carlo LS 3400 SFI couple questions? What did you use, piping size and filter size? Did you have to modify anything to get the tubing into the fender (it looks like it should be able to fit without any problems) ? How much did the parts cost you? How far into the fender should i go to make it more effective in term of being out of the warmer air in the engine bay? Should be able to do this fairly cheap with the exception of the K&N filter is there a cheaper alternative that flows the same? should i recover the PCM or whatever that silver box is under the stock airbox, or is it OK exposed? show me some pics of what you guys have done.. might try and do this this weekend.

19Cutlass94 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I cant answer all of them, but I can say you dont need more than 3" piping, a uniservsal K&N will do the job ( size depends on the room you have to work with ) yous shouldnt have to mod anything, just get the right angle pipe to make it work together.

digitaloutsider Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 My PCM just sits there. Not tied down, not mounted. Just sits where the airbox used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigEpCutlass Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'm pretty sure that DDP or Milzy sells a CAI kit for newer monte's now. I don't know why you aren't looking into that if you're posting over at MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 i just dont want to spend the money they want for something i know ican do my self for alot cheaper... if i wasnt going onto an exhaust shop wednesday where i could get my hands on a peice of tubing for cheap i would probably look into milzy but i know i can do this for cheaper, and i know that doing it my self i will be able to get at the filter easier because i am not going to bury the filter all the way into the fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 They sell cheap cone filters at Canadian Tire for like $38... might wanna try one of those before spending the $$$ on a K&N if you aren't sure what the results are gonna be. I would think any cone filter should flow about the same (alot more than a regular filter anyways...) the real bonus with K&N is that they last forever and reusable.

Cam'ron Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 is there a perfered position in the fender for filter placement? i see a spot in the fender that with the right bends i can set the filter right in it and it would ride really nice there, it is the triangular hole in the support frame just inside the fender lots of air from all directions there... should that be a good place for it?

19Cutlass94 Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 There no real position to the filter in there, since itll get the air no matter what position its mounted. Just get it as close to the front corner of the car and just build an air box around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 thanks jay! i might get at this this weekend, to what extent do i have to build the box around the filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 You have the battery on the passenger side of your 3400 right? You got more room then us old 3100 guys do lol... You wanna build the box to try and block out heat from the exhaust/engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted April 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 in the fender?? or kinda like a heatshield just in the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 like a heatshield. That's what lots of gen 2 GP guys do... then they take out their headlights at the track and get instant ram air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam'ron Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 the only reason i can see it possible not working is the ribs? on the MAf inlet, but just incase i have a silicone coupler as well, should be able to suck that down on the MAF inlet no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebojsa_o Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Come to the Alberta/Sask meet, and I'll take a picture of you humping his car. She'll never understand... Looks very cool dude, and that clip sounds better than the previous clips you had to show us of the exhaust. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted May 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 thanks guys... i think the only thing i am gona do still is re cut the roof vent for the filter cover, clean that up a bit and maybe build some sort of cover/enclosure for the PCM and so help me god if i catch you humping my car:lol: reminds me of that mercury mistress skit on SNL with chris parnell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
