GM Forum - Buick, Cadillac, Olds, GMC & Pontiac chat

Performance, Brainstorming & Tuning Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

Is this worth doing?

I know it'* better to build an air box but is this worth installing it as is for now?

Does it make a difference? I'm looking for a few low cost performance improvements... Is the official K&N one better?

Looks like a really short intake tube too, not so good for the heat (know from experience)

Not good, You'll want to redo it anyways to something that has cold air, and isn't so close to the engine. :?

What about the filters with the heat shield.... Too restrictive?
