im thinking of some new part starting with a throttle body , a air intake.... need some recomendation on thoughs for a fair price

paarman97maro 03-12-2006 08:36 PM

Air intakes will basically all do the same ranging from $20-70. I spent 60 on my CAI from ebay.

Intake and exhaust is the starting point for everything. Lets your car breath and exhale better :D.

MyFirstCamaro 03-12-2006 08:45 PM

my baby is breathing through some new flowmasters, dont know what spefic kind because ididnt put them on or buy them, but i was looking at headers but my pop doesnt want me to get them so i went to the next point.....it alreadys has some new struts and springs and brakes so il worry bout upgrading thoughs some time in the future


i got another question , the bezle (or the frame around the cassete player) does that just snap off or what

paarman97maro 03-12-2006 08:55 PM

Yeah it snaps off.

dont waste money on a throttle body yet---if you can even get one for a 3.8---dont know that you can---but that wont give you much if yours stock. and the intake for your car is different. paar got lucky cuz his intake is a traditional type...the 98-02 intakes are much different.

you can get the fast toys intake setup:

paarman97maro 03-12-2006 10:23 PM

Yeah I keep forgetting these 98 ers have different intakes :banghead:

NoRiceInside 03-12-2006 10:25 PM

yeah those 98-02 intakes dont seem very efficient...even modded.

"oh look, theres a small crack here in front of the radiator...lets get air from there!"

hell the SS and WS6 ram air for those years evens sucks too. it just routes air in front of the air box and lets the small gap between the airbox and the radiator cover suck the extra air in.

paarman97maro 03-12-2006 10:26 PM

But the 98+ Firebirds at least have cool looking front ends :p :nana:

MyFirstCamaro 03-12-2006 10:52 PM

alright so no throttle, cia i havebeen readingf seems pointless if you can save money, what are good wires and intake for the 98'

tommara im going to get the pics up for the avatar and sig. , is there people that can make me them
