Gut Airbox
i want to gut my airbox, but i would like to keep mine stock........so i've been trying to find an airbox from a supercharged 96-99 H body around here, but nobody has one........but there are loads of airboxes from 96-99 H body n/a'*.....so since i would be gutting the back section of the airbox with the baffle, would it really matter if i got a n/a airbox ? because i'm going to cut out the center anyways

you can also gut it in a way to put it back to stock also. you don't destroy the airbox to gut it. you just remove an inside piece (that can be put back in)

well, i made a trip to the junkyard and came up with an airbox out of a n/a park avenue
stock pics
OMG fram filter left in airbox
after chiseling away about 15 mins, i got both parts out
will go to the shop tomorrow and clean up with the dremel
i will also cut a very large square where the intake hole is in the 4th picture

I AM IN LOVE WITH WHINE
HOLY CRAP DOES GUTTING THE AIRBOX MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE
i cant imagine how much better a cai would be
i kept turning around on the highway to go from 0-60 just to hear that sweet whine
even with the ac delco filter the throttle response is phenomenal
now i'll wait a lil while for a k & n drop in
and i'll see if this helps my gas mileage now, but it probably won't because of my stupid foot and fondness of whine

Get the K&N.. You'll notice more of a difference. Then.......Open up the space in your radiator support and use weatherstrip to seal it off from the engine bay. It'll put a big ole on your face.
BTW..fuel mileage is in your past. Forget the letters MPG... keep thinking WHINE and PULL.
Foot = Whine + Pull and in our equaution... Whine + Pull can not ever equal MPG
