GP THRASHER IN 03 SSEI
FIRST OFF I'D LIKE TO SAY I'VE ENJOYED BROWSING THIS FORUM,SO I DECIDED TO JOIN,VERY INFORMATIVE.I'VE DONE A SEARCH ABOUT THIS SUBJECT AND HAVEN'T REALLY GOT ANY FIRM ANSWERS.HOW MUCH WORK IS INVOLVED TO MODIFY THE GP BOX TO FIT THE BONNE? IS THERE A DECENT RETURN WHEN USED WITH A 3.4" PULLEY OR BY ITSELF? IS IT SAFE AGAINST WATER INTRUSION?THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Yes, they do work, but you are keeping the accordian type intake hose. That screws up the air flow into the throttle body (and you will need to retain your intake air sensor). You are really better off getting a tuned-pipe intake. I admit that the Thrasher looks cool with the lexan cover, but your gains will not be as high as with a pipe.

That is great that it works for it.. But the question is, how much modifications are needed to the product in order for it to work? If anyone that has installed this in their 2000+ Bonne, I would love to get some directions on what to do.. Also, does it work good? Anyone notice anything different from the factory box?

Not many modifications are needed, looks like a straight swap, a few members have em. You will feel an increase in power, but not as much as a straight pipe intake.
If you want a Thrasher CAI, make sure you do a supercharger pulley mod as well...then you will really feel an increase in power .

ACtually, there are a few modifications. The PCM sits in the OEM air box, that will need to be relocated. The "relocation kit" you get from Thrasher is garbage. You will need to be creative. Check this out:
