However, on the 96-2000+ gutting it can help a lot.

if you do a Rice Pipe then you need a good heatshiled

i bought my intake from e-bay, nd i personally it fits my 96 perfectly, but i think it might be because the space under my hood is slightly more limited than a 97+, but with a K&N filter i really cant get too much longer without hitting anything...im not sure if the vendor i bought from deals on e-bay anymore since the intakes i see on there are different from mine...but i have to say that i only paid about 35 bucks with shipping so i was pleased...

Your engine bay space is IDENTICAL to that of any car here from 1987 to 1999. They are all identical in underhood dimensions to every last bolt hole.

:?: My 95 Bonne has a 01 GP 3800 engine installed. Pretty much the same? Patrick mentioned that there were a few differences. When I go to modify the air intake, I do it the same as II've read here...correct?
Soryy for the simple question. I am 42 and just starting to learn about these puppies!

There is no difference in motors or position/location. It'* a piece of cake. Gather your components, then propose a PA mini-meet. The work will get done fast.
