Custom "intake" ?
Friday, April 19, 2013 6:24 PM
Used the search tool, so please don't go there.

Long story short, I'm wanting to put a filter on the end of my S tube. Going to ditch the stock air box. I've seen this done in searching so I know it can be done. Does anyone know the K&N cone filter number to use to do this properly?

Please and Thank you.

Um....go to autozone and buy one. It's not some special filter meant specifically for the cavalier. Just your run of the mill cone filter.

Comments like that do the exact opposite of helping, and make you look like a tool. Congrats on your extra post.

I do plan on having a custom pipe bent at an exhaust shop a little bit later. One step at a time however. I do realize that it's just a run of the mill cone filter, But I didn't want to get one that have too large of an opening to fit on the oval stock tube, Or one that is too small. If someone had already tried this and had a Part number to use, It culd save some time and trouble.

Funny on the post count, ive posted like 4 times this month.

Keep in mnd you will need something to go in between the rubber s pipe and the filter.

When i did this about 12 years ago, i got a 3"x3" exhaust coupler and used that between the tube and filter.

Honestly its a waste of time and money to do this and have one bent at an exhaust shop. Unless that have a mandarel bender and will do it for free.

Ebay has cavalier specifi. Intakes for like $50. Just go that route, as there is no cool factor about having a crush bent intake from an exhaust shop.

That's a lot more helpful. When I had a 97 2.2 I just stuck a filter on the end of the stock tube. Ive see ones on ebay that range from the small extention for the s tube all the way up to full blown intakes. But there is justa s much @!#$ on Ebay as decent stuff.

Or buy mine $50 :p



JK

Buy a 3" u bend from summit, some silicone adapters, and a spectre filter from the zone. Cut and weld.
The throttle body is 2.75" I believe. That 90 degree elbow is a 3" that I clamped down I think.
