Im looking at getting an intake.... but i see Cold Air and Full air?
When i research it they look almost the same, except for price, and cold takes air from the wheel bay(correct me if im wrong) and full air takes from the engine cabin... any thoughts, or suggestions?
I'm no expert, but a full ram cold air intake will give you the most horse power and fuel efficiency increase, a short ram intake will provide similar but less increase to the full ram cold air intake, but with better sound effects. I'm guessing the full non-cold air intake refers to stock intake? Which probably isn't what you want..
I thought the same thing at first since the "full air" is just the same as my stock filter but instead of it being a flat filter its a K N Cone filter.
im leanig towards Volant PowerCore Cold Air Intake its more expensive but looks much easier to install and since im a noob i want to give it a try.
The "chrome" intake and "full air" intake are thr same exact thing. Look at the picture. Then precede to slap yourself across the face for not buying a CRABS intake +1 for the best g6 intake
yea I just heard that some fit and install easier... it blows (not the cool kind) not having experience installing or updating my G6, ive had it since it was on the showroom floor and never really gave her an mods or upgrades.
intake shouldn't be to hard for u. it should actually be a nice first mod for u. one thing your going to need tho is a torx screwdriver/socket to get the MAF sensor unbolted from the stock pipes. i had to spend 40 bucks on a whole torx ratchet set just to use one of the sockets lol.
I'm going with volant, turns out the back ally deal I made didn't turn out so well... I called the guy who told me he would sell me a new one for 130 bucks but it turns out its missing parts...
I gotta order it online now and pay full pop and wait for it to get here from Texas
I installed a Volant cai in my 2006 Pontiac g6 gt couple of weeks ago easy install with a few issues the box fitted well but the holes that clip the ac line to the side of the box didn,t line up at all so I couldn,t attach it!! had to drill my own holes in the box to attach filter assembly no big deal . the biggest problem I had was attaching the pipe to the throttle body the silicone sleeve was to small to go on to the Volant pipe I had to stretch the hell out of it to make it fit!! the sleeve that attached the mass air flow sensor to the pipe was 3.25" inside diameter and fit perfectly the throttle body sleeve was 3.00" I contacted Volant by email to replace it almost 2 weeks no response!! I also installed the tiger ram to the box fed from the bottom of car without the scoop to start and removed it after a week we had a lot of rain up here in Ontario Canada that week and found that the pipe was wet inside so I opened the box and I could see dried water spots inside the box !! so you could imagine if I would of put the scoop on the bottom how much water would of been fed up in there!! not taking a chance !! I would say it looks pretty good under the hood and it barks when you put your foot into it !! I think it makes a decent improvement in performance and fuel mileage has increased about 1.5 miles per gallon!! the box is really close to the hood liner and is taking some of the paint of the box access cover!!
"CRABS FTW! Option 3 with FPU" ....What is FPU? Where would I get it. Do I need it? I just bought a 2009 Pontiac G6 3.5 v6 with 58k miles for $9,000 and ready thinking about modifying it. First thing I wanna start with is of course the Cold Air Intake.
The FPU is a front pipe upgrade. It upgrades your stock pipe from your throttle body to your mass airflow sensor. Your stocker has a squeeze in it off the 90 by the tbi and indents in the front and for your dipstick.
Remember that air can only flow at the rate the smallest point will allow (choke point). The FPU replaces it with a true mandrel bent 3" system that allows 24% more air to flow over your stock pipe. Users report more torque in the lower end. It is designed to work with the Cab.
...and thats not even mentioning the bling factor! Lol
