i'm looking for a k&n filter for my 5.7 liter 350 in my 92 camaro z28.i was lookin for the oval type that would mount right onto the throttle body, eliminating the duct type intake and filters. anyone know of any ? i think there is some out there, jus not sure where. ? ? thanks again everyone

 

Your intake air will be cooler if you grab it from in front of the radiator, as opposed to hot engine compartment air. You have no flow sensor in front of the TB?

 

i acutally thought about the hot air factor, if i used the open type of filter straight onto the throttle body but i was jus lookin to get more air. i recently put full mac exhaust and headers on my car . so i was lokin for more air . any suggestions? if i have the right idea

 

I just kept the stock cold air plumbing on mine, and threw in a set of K&N filters in the stock locations. Works just fine.

You have done the throttle body water bypass, haven't you?

 

Hey im not sure if ill be much help but I just put a cold air kit on my Z28 and I have the stock box and 2 K&N filters you can have for a nice penny

 

No, 85-89 TPI setups use a MAF sensor in front of the throttle body to measure the incoming air, while the 90-92 TPI have a MAP sensor mounted on the plenum to measure the vacuum, or engine load. Its a straight shot from the filters to the throttle body.

 

Camaro's run so hot I would say avoid grabbing the air from the inside of the engine compartment. Its an oven in there...and as usual hot air isn't good for the car.

 

I bought one from Jeg's years ago, and I think they still have it. Look under their TPI/LTI/LSx section.

I took it off after someone told me it was bad for the motor/performance because of the heat and all, but I never noticed it one way or the other. I do recall it making a loud hissing/whistle sound (no, not an air leak) at certain RPM's that I thought sounded pretty cool.
