#1, 3" intake tube is too small,#2 those cheapie filters tend to be a restriction ,so do I think it's a good buy IMHO NO,you will probabley end up scrapping that intake and buying a real intake at some point or making your own with a decent filter,K&N filters outflow most everyhing on the market this is why they are expenive but with proper care you'll never need to buy another.

yeah thats what i was thinking to chico. Like later on down the road scrap the filter and get a cone K&N filter. You can buy just the filter to fit the current setup in getting correct?

I had one of those for a while. Got great MPG (because of all the hot air its sucking in), but that intake in the performance area = EPIC FAIL.

That metal tube is going to absorb heat in a big way. You should try to wrap it with something. If it comes with a no-name filter, you might be better off replacing it. Get an S&B PowerStack. They work great in a HAI setup.

For power your prolly better off with the stock intake, just because with that silly pipe. you will be sucking in soo much hot air, hot air=no power. On the other hand Cold air = more power and better mpg's. As for the k&n filter..... Try blowing through the k&N filter and put your hand on the other side of it. You will feel no air flowing through it. With a K&N its an oil filter, i found it has poor air flow. The oil F***'s up the mass air flow sensor. oil gets on the mass sensor and goes bad. I would never buy a K&N filter ever again. Dry flow cone filters are for the win like AEM, only downside is if water gets on it.
oh by the way i like your bronze color GTP. So much more sleeper

Nope.

Warmer air means less fuel is used (less dense) and that means better MPG.

Cold air means more fuel is used (more dense) and that means less MPG.

well with any cone filter you will really hear the supercharger whine. I had a cheap autozone cone filter on my last car. A supercharged 95' riviera it had the 3800 series 1 motor, which came with a smaller supercharger than yours. and the sound got very addicting
