i don't like it simply becasue its on eBay... that guy probably just build a piece of pipe with a cone filter on it and claimed it picks up hp. its not a fenderwell or a CAI, i wouldn't get it. may get 3-4hp, but i wouldn't think it would be noticable, the only noticable differnece with that would be the sound it would make.

Save your money & make your own . 3inch PVC 1/4 inch wall & cone filter . It would be cheaper than $45.00 & you can design it the way you want it . I made a FWI for my Impala for $35.00 & it works great , so cheap isn't always bad .

GP `Dave, I think for only $45 it isn't a bad investment. It would cost that much to make your own. * Polished piping for better direct airflow into the throttle body. * Come with high performance washable Air Filter * Increase 10-15 HP! Deep throaty sound * No additional parts will be needed for installation. * Re-usable filter. Just clean with any cleaning material.
* 100% Brand New.
Fits:
1. CHEVROLET IMPALA LS, LT, LTZ, 3.5L, 3.9L V6(2006-2008)
2. CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO LS, LT, LTZ, 3.5L, 3.9L V6 (2006-2008)
$45 is a really decent price
If anyone decides to get one, please post what you think of it,
and give the members a review.
Thanks Solara Slayer - GP `Dave for sharing/posting

as you said... thats not really a "cold air intake" though... I mean, your going to have major engine heat warming up the air its taking in. Your going to need to make a box and give it a breathe hole to the outside ait if you want it truely "cold".
save the 45 bucks and get creative with something that is more custom for your car.

Hi `Mike, what U have 2 do is build a custom box for a
ice bucket in front of it (dry ice preferred : )
Seriously, some people/members are not mechanically inclined, and $45 is a decent
price. I know it's a short'ie ram, but once the factory air
box is removed, the air intake from it still blows in air
from the outside. I think it's a fair price `if U R on a budget.
LOL ~ LOL (put a ice bucket in : ) LOL ~ LOL
Sorry, Space Post without ZZZ sleep : ) Zzzzzz
