The only listings they have are for the more commonly modded cars.

However, it sounds like others on here know more about the actual quality of it than I do (i haven't tried it myself)...i'd listen to them and sidestep spectre for the intake stuff, it's too expensive for plastic.

Exactly

The only intake imo worth buying for the alero is the one made by doctorspeed.com best intake ever, he was a pain in the asz to work with but when I got it, I couldnt be happier!

^its the same damn thing. SAME exact intake. there are WAI/CAI/turbo and Superchargers. Those are the only intakes available for our cars... so paying 130 for a product that costs 20, is just foolish.

thanks for all the input guys. i was looking into the spectre line cuz my neighbor was selling a whole bunch of them brand new for 25 bucks. and i know they normally run about 10 bucks a piece. he is transfering to another base and didnt need them anymore. i went ahead and got them anyways, just to give them a shot. i'll post up some pics later on after i install them. wish me luck!!!

for the parts you need 2 - 45 degree p/n 8738, 1 - 22 degree p/n 8728, 2 - 60 degree p/n 8668, and 1 - 90 degree p/n 8698. at least thats what i used. you can also add the air flow sensor mount p/n 8705, and the vacuum/ sensor adapter p/n 8707. hope this helps, if anyone wants to give it a shot too. i'll let you guys know how my car reacts to the change here in WA.

I take offence to that.

No, it really does look good. Its clean, and I like that. Just wondering as to how the fitment was for you? Ie., any issues with assembling and installing it, or was it just a simple job?

looks nice! almost makes me want to swap out my wai for that

joserivas19 · 07-28-2007, 11:04 PM

it sure was a lot cheaper than $130. still have money for gas for 3 weeks. lol. actually, the only issue i had was the steel/metal part that held the old plastic tube. i had to bend the hell out of the old steel that held the old plastic tube. once i had the correct parts i wanted it took me like 20 mins to put it together. the 3 inch tube fit perfectly right behind the battery and as you can see there was still room left. hope these pics and p/n help anyone in the future.
