Make your own! It's really easy. ClubGP also has info on how to do this. I have a 98 gtp. I didn't know anything about them when I got the car. I made my own cold air intake, works awesome.

3800performance.com is another one. A little pricey, but they have a lot of good products.

Easy to make. I made a fender well intake for my SS (L67) using a 9" K&N and 3" grey electrical conduit. Most expensive piece was the filter of course.

+1 for make your own FWI. There are some really awesome plans on Club Grand Prix! Your online Grand Prix & G8 resource... I like the one where you use a roof vent to run the intake tube into the fenderwell.

yes the home depot intake !

in the plumbing section :

1 3" to 4" rubber adaptor
1 4" 22* pvc elbow
1 roof pipe flashing (black plastic with trimmable rubber insert)
2 feet 4" thinwall pvc
1 k&n cone filter

open your hood and thereis really only one way they can go.

or the zzperformance link above and buy 2 feet of their 4" intake tubing for $21 plus shipping , the roof flashing from the depot , and a K&n cone filter , if you really want to get fancy you can heat wrap it
