engine decal and air filter questions
The gm dealer I went to today says they never built an SS in canada therefore they cant get me an airfilter. Guess he took a stupid pill this morning before he came to work. I need a source for an airfilter for my 97 SS or al least a part number, factory or aftermarket.
Second problem, the panel above my rad and condenser is missing, I ordered a new one but need the part numbers for the emission decal on that panel that shows engine displacement I believe. Can anyone give me numbers for a 97? Im also missing the SLP stickers that go on the panel which I can get from SLP directly I hope.
Thanks,
Paul.

Re: engine decal and air filter questions
According to Fbody.org your dealer is right, SS camaros were not made in Canada in 1997:
SS - available as an upgrade to the Z28 model starting in late-1995 (as a 1996 model). The package include a functional ram air hood scoop and reworked exhaust manifolds resulting in 305 HP and 335 ft-lbs of torque. An optional freer flowing exhaust system brings HP to 315 and torque to 342 ft-lbs. In 1998 with the introduction of the LS1 engine, power was boosted to 320HP, and with the optional SLP exhaust power was boosted to 327HP. The stock wheels and tires are replaced with 5-spoke 17" ZR-1 style wheels with 275/40ZR/17 tires. Hurst shifter and Torsen differential were available options. Bilstein shocks, stiffer rate springs/bushings, and a larger front sway bar make up the optional Level-II suspension. The stock spoiler is replaced with sleeker looking one. "SS" badges replace the "Z28" badges on the front fenders and rear passenger bumper. All cars were shipped as stock Z28s to Street Legal Performance (SLP) Engineering where the above modifications were made through 1997. After that, GM made the modifications on its own assembly line.
SLP is located in New Jersey.
I would see is K&N makes a filter for the SS.
