hey, I am thinking of fabricating my own intake adapter for my 1992 GXE. I can get an air filter for it (3" diameter), and was curious how hard it would be?

They already make adapters for our car. I bought one for mine and it was like $40. After looking at it I could have easily just made one myself. It's not worth it now anyway. I'm going to try to maek a custom intake that acts as a ram air under my bumper. It will probably be some type of modification off of the CAI. Hopefully I can make something that works.


92GXE, touring wing, 18” racing wheels, Port&Polished intake, custom intake, custom yellow interior, racing seats, back seats taken out and replaced with subs and amps, NOS kit, Suspension tech. Lowering springs, custom grille, soon to be custom painted and have the whole engine rebuilt for big shot NOS and custom SC and tranny converted to 5-speed

If I were you I would save your money on the adaptor and get a CAI. The cool airs look cool but they dont get the performance that the CAI gets. I saw basically no difference between my cool air and stock besides a nice grunt at full throttle. It will help a little but if you want the extra power its worth the extra $100 in the long range.
