A plain K&N filter doesn't add any hp although K&N claims it does. The air filters themselves are just good because the are reusable, along with the filters they offer whole intake systems.

I just did a search though and it looks like the FIPK is for the 3.4l (93-95 Camaro V6 engine).

click here- Ligenfelter CAI for 3.8s

 

12hp on a 95 V8
275hp to 287hp 4.36% increase
for the Ligenfelter CAI - $180

20hp on a 97 3.8L
200hp to 220hp 10% increase
for the SPI CAI - $220

 

Whisper lids are junk between me and my best friend we been through 3 they are made of thin cheap plastic that will not hold up and sometimes get broke on installation I would not reccomend my worst enemy to use that junk!!!!!

 

Must be bad luck or something. I have one on the V6 camaro and SS with no problems, in fact I push and leaned on it a lot while installing the headers without it cracking.

 

hmm i wounder if this could help...

Actually you can install ANY CAI on 96-97 V6 models designed for LT1. You just need to get 1LE or even used and cheap stock LT1 elbow. It can be easilly adapted to fit this models. Just be sure to get this elbow from rubber-like material. I just installed Moroso CAI from LT1 on '96 V6 bird and it fits/looks/works great. I used my old stock LT1 elbow from '97 T/A. I can post a pics if someone interested.

 

Anyone know how much it would cost to buy a full borla exhaust system(headers all the way to the muffler) would cost and their opinions of putting it on my 96?

 

I just purchased a 2001 v6 3.8, and I wanted to put a CAI, and I wanted to know which was better SLP or K&N? How hp will I actually gain from them, cause I know that the site says like 26 hp for K&N, and 20 hp for SLP. Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on either of these. SLP is like half the price of the K&N. Thanks.

 

I have a 99 3.8 camaro and i got the SLP cai, K&N filter and wisper lid all for around $220 shipped. As for gains I noticed more of a gain at higher RPMs. Im not familar with the K&N cai but the SLP is probably the best bang for you buck.

 

No way will you see that much gain from those intakes alone. There is minimal difference between the two...just the looks, brand and price. My advice: If you have no preference on the look, go with the cheaper of the two.

 

how much hp gain should i expect with a new CAI, on a stock 3.8 with exhaust?

 

where did u get that deal at? was it hard to install, or would u reccomend that i get it done somewhere else?

 

I installed an SLP CAI this week...took a little coaxing to get it in. But it's there!! Sounds like a vacuum now with lot's of suction...HA! Looks cool too!!

 

I didnt know if my post that is in the v6tech section would be deleted so im putting it here too..

i have a 3.4L '95 camaro

What do you think my flywheel hp and rwhp will be with all this..

1.Headers
2.cold air intake
3.TB bypass
4.180 thermostat
5.underdrive pulleys
6.GM powerpack- ported cylinder heads w/3-angle valve job, new valve seals, ported upper and lower intake manifolds, and reground cam, hi-lift valve springs
7.Loudmouth exhaust
8.SLP air temp module - advances spark 1 or 2 degrees
9.New ignition coils
10.Platinum Plugs
11.8mm wires

 

What are some good headers I can get for my 3rd gen? I want to get some more power into this engine without heavy modifications and I know that a good intake and good exhaust system is a good starter power adder. Also, it is possible to change out the headers in this car without a lift? I have ramps that get the front off the ground (used them to fix a loose bolt in the oil pan). Thanks for the help.
