GMPP intake

I installed the GMPP air filter kit on my 2.4 yesterday. Nice kit, everything fits nice and is easy to install. I can't tell if it increases performance, but if LOUD = HP it must help. Normal driving is pretty quiet, but put your foot in it and it gets very loud!
The kit replaces the top half of the stock airbox and uses the stock lower half with the intake tube. the top is open with the good up and seals against the bottom of the hood when closed. I like it, but it is probably overpriced.

Sorry, no pics. I paid $261.00 (15% over cost, thats what the dealer I work for charges employees) list is $325.00. I didn't think $261 was too out of line, but $325 is too much. I ordered about a week ago, so it just got released.

yeah, i was going to say "261 isn't that bad..." then i read the employee part.

i mean, i am willing to pay a little more for a part thats warranted not to cause CELs or wuin my motor... but only to a point.

GM does not condone intakes, they condone oiled filters,get a dryflow,I just spoke with a service guy and he confirmed this.There are several peaple on this page who work at dealerships,Im sure they can find this note from gm to the dealerships to look out for oiled filters,maybe some of these guys can elaberate on this, if I could find this memo I seen on the matrix forums, I would post it,good luck

Anyone have the part # on this kit? I work at a GM performance parts dealer and I can see if I can do a group buy if you guys would be up for that. I've found all sorts of GMPP stuff but this is the first I'm hearing about this intake so I'll definently need a #.

Let me know guys.

i wouldn't think that this intake would make anything louder due to the fact it uses the silencer box..
