[sweet gts]

Just bought a 97 gts and am looking for input on replacing the factory air box with another system, can any body give me some input on this?

I would suggest checking into the one from PBJ (Performance By Joe). Its the one I have on my car and in my opinion its the best quality and you can have it powdercoated any color you want. Here's a link to their webpage ( http://performancebyjoe.com/ ).

You looking for "cool looking", or functional, cost a consideration?

want it to be functonal but appearance is important, I work at a rice dealer and you would not beleive how many cars have come in hydro locked because the aftermarket intake sucked in water. I looked at one at elite and a carbon fober one at dc performance an d of course the k&n system

"I looked at one at elite"

If thats the same Elite that does the Viper hoods, be very careful using them!

I had heard that in a couple of threads,( Elite) the on at dc looks and sound like a nice item

Here's a pic of mine that PBJ did for me recently. It's hard to see from the pic but there's a vipair style deflector incorporated in the front. I chose to have it powdercoated in krinkle red but you can get it in any color. The Sneaky Pete logo is actually a cutout with a polished metal background.

The rest of the engine bay will look better after I'm finished with a few things in there and I can detail it. Roe racing just called and said the red silicone hoses that were on backorder since July are finally in and being shipped today.

Thanks for the pics still kicking it around, have you had any problems with water?

 

[RoadiJeff]

Me? No, but I don't know if I'm a typical example since my car has never been in a drop of rain in its life.

Damn N.E. weather you can't always trust what you hear. I'm working with Dan @ DC for the intake, will let you know how I make out.

Which air intake is known to deliver the most HP?

Welcome to Viper Nation my Blue & White brother!

I went with a Carbon Fiber Airbox from Steve Prescott (he posts as: GTS-R 001)

Also, get a couple pairs of K&N filters while you're at it. One pair for the car and keep a clean pair on standby for when you need to change them. Then you can clean the dirty ones at your leisure.
