Fabrication and installation of a Fender Well Intake (FWI) for a Pontiac Grand Prix, has been added to the "How To" section and can be found here

Awesome info. We may convert this into some downloadable format in the near future if you dont mind.

It whines a lot, but I like it.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

That'll be great. I just posted it like that now for some content, and for safe keeping.

I used this set up to build my FWI
is a awsome write up and thanks Street Wolf
I have a CIA intake right now but spring time
i switch back ..I did not use the 4" pipe thought
as i did not want to cut out the piece for the fender.

Love the write up. Although you might want to find a better source for removing the bumper. Some of us on here are blocked and banned from Club GP.

When I made my similar fender well intake setup. I actually moved my AIT sensor down to where the hole in the fender well was and tapped into the PVC there for the sensor intake readings.

Here is a picture of mine when I did have it in there. I cut through the flashing to get to the tap I created and Gorilla glued a rubber gromet into the PVC so I could remove the sensor without issue when necessary.

doesn't that pvc pipe get hot and melt?

If your under the hood temps get hot enough to melt PVC then you have bigger problems to worry about other than your fender well intake melting.

Sorry I've never tried it before I've just read that its a bad idea to use pvc cause it will melt.

Got a picture of what that looks on the outside of the fender?

so i made this and its freakin awesome; but i cut out a small portion of the wheel well also. does anyone think that it will suck in brake dust or any thing that will hurt my engine? i just think i will have to clean the filter a lot, but any suggestions would be good.

if you cut the wheel well don't drive in the rain at all

what size pipe did you use and did you have trouble installing without cutting anything. I really don't want to hack away at anything on my 00' gp gt.

its pretty easy to do without bumper removal. You can just remove the headlight for access.
