just a question I have a 1999 2.4 alero, what I am wondering is will a air intake made for a cavalier fit on the alero if the engine size is the same, and second question is what is a good intake to buy...thanks for the help Rich

yes one from a cav will fit on an alero.

far as good intake, the 2 best are APOC and induction dynamics CAI. i did have a weapon R it was ok for a WAI. but i would say best WAI would be AEM.

The best cai in my opinion is The Indunction Dynamics cai....i just installed one of them in a friends car a couple of weeks ago but myself personally, i have the AEM wai...both are good.

i like the CAI but its a PITA to install.

induction dynamics is your best bet

how much did you pay for it

12-08-2003, 04:02 PM

i got it for $80 including ship off e-bay it include a 3" k&n...not a k&n style but an acutal kn filter :o

Silentalero · 12-08-2003, 04:18 PM

so its a WAI, not bad price though

Oldsman · 12-08-2003, 04:44 PM

yea, not bad price for AEM. if you ever want to make it CAI. all you have to do is get the CAI from rksport and add it on. not as good as ID but better than WAI.

johny_boy32 · 12-08-2003, 08:21 PM

i must have bought mine at the right time then because i got mine for $69 shipped...still a good price...you will be happy.

i am not gonna try CAI I live in florida where it happens to rain alot over the summer, my dad had a n audi s4 with a CAI on it and i got to hydolock the engine on the drive home from school one day, not good it even had the bypass i was goin a lil to fast and hit a large puddle.....slurp, bang, dead so i am jsut gonna keep what i got so i dont do that again

johny_boy32 · 12-09-2003, 09:21 AM

good idea then

Silentalero · 12-09-2003, 10:27 AM

depending on how you cover your cone, with the factory stuff your cone would be fine.

Oldsman · 12-09-2003, 06:33 PM

your suppose to miss those big puddles.

johny_boy32 · 12-09-2003, 07:16 PM

suppose too...but poop happens right?

Oldsman · 12-09-2003, 09:05 PM

it does but you have to find ways around it without saying oh well. not easy, might start traffic jam but traffic jam is better than hydrolock.

12-09-2003, 09:30 PM

rather have hydroloch than traffic jam....remember when your under 25 car insurance is high enough and with an accidend your payin for it for the next 3 years in you premiums....rather have hydrolock and have mechanic dad fix car....besides i didnt think the puddle was that big untill i got up on it woops, sure messed up that judgement but its all good B)

johny_boy32 · 12-10-2003, 09:28 AM

ok in your case a hydroloch would be better.

I bought a short ram WAI on ebay that was made for a cavy and mine fits great....... I love the thing
