Re: 1986 camaro cold air intake question

Are K&N cones not 50 state legal? If they arent, i dont see why not..

But how does the Lt1's air intake look again? Its similar to the TPI setup right? If it is, a box stock replacement set would probably be the best idea. The TPI and similar setups are really great setups already, a cone really wouldnt be much of an improvement, if any at all.

If it runs to a box, just replace the box with a K&N cone.

If you have a camaro, just find a dual snorkel box. Its about as good a CAI as you could hope to have.

Would a dual snorkel intake work on my L98?
