2.4L Air Intakes...
Monday, February 25, 2008 10:47 PM
I'm having problems tracking down a decent air intake for a 2.4L LD9..... I searched the faq and searched all the links available... the only option i found was the RK sport with K&N filter.... not really wanting to spend 200+ for a peice of aluminum tubing.... any help would be appreciated... and yes I have looked at ebay but there's nothing but junk

Forgot to mention... I found one AEM hort ram intake that specifies it is for a 95-99 2.4L ld9... would this work for a 01?

Ya they are all the same

I just bought a Vibrant Short Ram and eventually replaced the Filter with a K&N

where did you purchase from?

Also I am looking for one that will replace the full resonator/air box system.. is there anything I should specifically look for?

Buy from eBay. Replace the filter with a K&N. You'll save a ton of cash.

eh? did you not say yourself that its just a piece of aluminum pipe? so how does that make the ebay one junk? i have a buddy that bought one and it did just as good of a job on his grand am as my aem did on my cavalier.

if your so worried about "performance" from an intake buy a k&n filter to go with it.

Once again. Check the ultimate intake thread on this page.

the reason why I said junk is because I have read about horrible fitment issues with some of the ebay kits....

thats funny, ive been here over 5 years now and have never heard anything of the sort.

the one my buddy bought i believe was a 'bomz' and it fits just as nice as an AEM does.



Re: 2.4L Air Intakes...
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 8:49 AM
the bomz supposidly do fit but they are not the cheapest... the junk i'm talking about is the ones that are 5-10 dollars.... the problems I'm having is tracking one down it doesn't seem like a lot of people are producing the 2.4L intakes anymore

ive been here almost 6 years and have heard horror stories about fitment with ebay intakes.
you can get one from any place that sells J-body stuff

that's pretty expensive.... almost 400 cad?? looks like a really nice and well designed intake but that price seems a bit out there.....

99redz24: Any suggestions on where to check?? most of the links in the faq do not work anymore

K found a couple now thanks!!!.... one of my last questions is... is there any difference between the air intakes for a 96-99 LD9 vs 00-02 LD9's??? I found a pretty good deal on a AEM short ram intake but it specifies 96-99

Would you guys be interested in a really nice intake? I make them for the w-body platform and the ZX2 as well. Here is a pic. They made 20hp to the crank.

what type of cost for a 2.4L LD9 00-02?
Re: 2.4L Air Intakes...

Get a group interested in them, 10 and above and I will design the intake and will sell them to the forum. I know the Zx2 intakes that I build make the most power for any intake on the market. here is a link, search MMI intakes, you will find all postive reviews.

the bomz intake for the 2.4 on EBAY is like $35.00 shipped. i dont see the complication here...



Re: 2.4L Air Intakes...
Tuesday, February 26, 2008 11:56 AM
35.00 shipped??? it's $32 to ship it alone..... I think i'm going to go with an AEM intake that a local jbody member used for only a month
Re: 2.4L Air Intakes...

my bad, maybe this isnt a 'bomz' intake but its the exact same damn thing. this is the exact same one my buddy bought for his grand am.

$32.95 SHIPPED.

here's some pics for you...

Thats a garbage intake, I have had the welds brake on me, the rubber fails and the whole design is @!#$.

sorry to hear your mis-fortune. this one was on the car daily driven for about 40,000 miles without one hiccup. it's now on my dad's 00z and is doing fine.

but hey, im not trying to say buy it or not, i have the aem and love the damn thing.... its all in how much you wanna spend.

Yeah it didn't. Why don't you people focus on something that actually adds horsepower? Like cams or something?

I would love to see a dyno of you gaining 20hp to the crank by just putting an intake on.

As far as induction dynamics, they have had the same stuff in development for over two years. Doesn't seem like a very promising company to go with. Another option if your worried about buying junk and having welds and what not break, you could always get piping and make or weld your own and throw a K&N on it.
