Air Intake Question
Anyone ever see an air intake like this? It is on my 89 GTA 5.7L. Not sure where it came from but it doesn't look like the stock one.
Thanks.

I have the exact same one on my 87 GTA 5.7 - it's all original

Re: Air Intake Question
Its stock but not "correct" for 88-89 cars.

This is "correct" for 88-89 cars

Re: Air Intake Question
Thanks. All my other '89 5.7 cars had what TTop350 shows. SOmeone must have replaced this with an older unit.

Re: Air Intake Question
Is it a very early '89 model?

88 and 89 used the same intake setup, I'm guessing for serp belt setup clearance and a power bump over the 85-87 setup.

Re: Air Intake Question
The pre-88 setup left a lot of room for improvement, especially for L98s.

Re: Air Intake Question
Ironic or coincidental? You posted your reply at 3:05. I posted my reply at 3:50. It's almost as if it were planned.
