After meeting with a friend (Mark) I decided to convert to a K&N cone filter. Allot has been written on how hard it is to convert to a cone element. Well after some research this is how I did it. I found the perfect adaptor for the element at AutoZone, a Spectre Air Sensor Adaptor model 8141. It has the same opening as the Mass Flow and everything. I cleaned off the old gasket and made a new one, painted everything black (because I like the stock look, no Bling, Bling) Had to move the radiator overflow forward and tilted a little. I made an L bracket to hang the whole Mass Flow from a factory bracket. I think it looks awesome

It does look very clean. Nice work.

 

Very Nice !

Any plans for a heat sheild ?

 

John, I was checking your cardomain pics...congrats on a very cool project. Thank you also for the 8141 adapter and K&N cone filter, it saves tons of energy and cash. One question, on your page you "tackled" our greatest adversary, wheelwell rust. I have a GSLSE with the same color, and I also have such cancerous tumors. You mentioned that you used rust-oleum paint after 4 layers of undercarriage treatment. Which color did you use to color match to the metallic sky blue color? Thanks

 

Nice job, looks good. What part # kn filter did you use? In a couple weeks hopefully i will have figured out how to update everyone with a gsle to a complete
cold air intake system. From the t-body to afm, then relocating it in front of the
lower grill at the front of the car. Also will relocate the air intake sensor right behind the air filter.

 

Did it sound or perform any better??
