No K&N?

When I do a search on the K&N site for products that fit my car, it only comes up with a stock air filter replacement. It shows the FIPK for the 3800 in that year, but for my car: nothing. Does this mean that none of their CAI will fit my car?

its the same thing :) it will work on your 3.4 engine

Awesome wiz, thanks! You always have good news for me.

no problem...always like to help out... :)

Alright wiz, just for my curiousity, why don't they list the intake for the 3.4 L's?

i think its cuz the average person that has the 3.4 l probably doesn't want a cold air intake...usually the guyz that do their cars up for speed would have the 3.8l engine..

but even if it didn't work you could find a 3.8l in a junkyard, take the throttle body off of it and put it on yours...then connect the cold air intake to it...but its probably the same already..should be the same throttle body... i'm 99.9% sure that the cold air intake for the 3.8 will fit the the 3.4...

the intakes for the 3800 should fit the 3400 yes.   Wiz  FYI  3.4L is not the same as 3400 they are two diff engines... 97 was the last year for the 3.4L 
 
as for the TB's the 3800 TB is very different from the 3400 TB.  Now the 3100 and 3400 TB's are almost identical except that the 3400 is slightly bigger inside (good swap mod)
 
the only problems i see with the install is that the 3800's MAF sensor is built into the TB and the 3400 has an external sensor that  is between the TB and airbox.  worst case is that you will need to cut a section of the CAI and fit in the maf sensor some where.  but obviously the engine bay is the same.  if you want some info on how to build your own CAI/FWI fender well intake.  go to my homepage and to page 6.  i have a writeup there for my car and links to about four other sites with info more specific to your year car.  if you cant find a design you like there... you prob wont find one.

Even with your write-up, I still doubt I could pull that off. Very little faith in my abilities. So it looks like if/when I decide to try this I'll have to have someone install if for me.

where you at?

I live in North Dakota, if that's what you're asking. The opposite of Florida.

Yeesh!!  That's a long haul.

Wanna come up and install it for me?  The weather is beautiful this time of year.

Got this in an email from K&N today:

Thank you for your interest in K&N products. The kit you are speaking of does not fit your car. The 3.4 V6 and the 3.8 V6 are two different engines which mount in the vehicle in different ways. The kit was designed to fit the 3.8 V6 only. If you have any questions please contact us at 1 800 858 3333

thats wierd...i guess the only thing you could do is talk to an auto parts store and ask them if there's a restocking charge if you try it and it doesn't work..i think maybe they're just covering their buts..cuz i think it would work...honestly if you were in my area i wuold order it in just to try it on there...if it fit then good..if it didn't then i'd return it...you should find out if your local parts store will do the same thing...and even still if it doesn't work you could get a 3.8l throttle body and put it on your car...i still think it would work though...but i'm not 100% sure as i dont have the 3.4 and haven't tried it...i guess there's only one way to find out though

or you could just make your own and say poop on k&n ..lol..but i still say it should work     

Emailed the same guy back and asked if switching out the throttle bodys would eliminate majority of the problem and this was his response:
Morning Jacob,
I believe you will run into mounting problems as our kits are specifically designed to work with the car and motor. Those motors are quite different in HP, one is rated at 160HP and the other at 200HP. We design according to what the motor needs in flow and as you know the 200HP will flow a lot more. I do believe we tested on your car and found little improvement in HP at all. Changing your throttle body may not allow your car to work properly. Again your intake is designed for the amount of air it needs for the fuel and air mixture. Most likely your engine would not allow enough adjustment to compensate for that. You could attempt to build your own intake system using our universal filters however; we would not guarantee HP or ill effects that it might cause. Check the web to see what everybody else is doing to get around this. I’m sure you could find info on this.
