Car Modification (video at the end)

Between last night, and this morning, I finished what has been a long overdo project on the G6. Reverting the air assembly halfway back to stock. Actually, now that I think of it, maybe 25% back to stock.

This is what I have to start with.


The intake tube is from a guy called "Lampoon", who sell intakes for the G6. They are called "Crab Intakes". I bought his "FPU" (Front Pipe Upgrade), and decided to save a few bucks and piece together my own filter assembly. The filter is a Fujita Dry Flow.


STEP 1: Remove filter assembly, and replace with recently hacked and modded stock bottom air filter housing. Not pictured: Intake resonator delete. That hole goes straight down.


STEP 2: Insert OEM style filter of choice.



STEP 3: Remove plastic wrap (if applicable) from filter. Because if you didn't, the filter would be rendered useless and you'd be an idiot.





STEP 4 (Optional): Realize you threw away all the original fasteners about a year or two ago, and go to HomeDepot and PepBoys to buy some more. When you get to said store, notice they have sweet little tool boxes full of screws, nuts, and bolts, and buy way more than you need for the current project.




STEP 5: Fully assemble air cleaner assembly, check for tightness at all joints, and enjoy.


In case you were wondering, I keep the intake tube, and painted it black using "PlastiDip". It is a rubberish coating in a spray can.


RESULTS: Noise is slightly louder. Pull off the line has increased greatly. I can definitely fell a deference. We will see if this continues as the computer adjusts to the intake.
