Making your own is a very good idea. Search the forum for threads on COLD AIR INTAKE or CAI

Why not examine a "real" filter system and see what the difference is? Its very easy to make a cold air induction system that works, you might just have to get the right idea rolling with some inspiration.
Check out cardomain.com, I am certain someone there has a car similar to yours with a system already designed & installed.

So i got my new cold air intake off ebay for 15 bucks
this was the first performance altering modification for my car, and i'm pretty excited that i actually did it.
I got rid of the ridiculous dryer duct that i was using as a ram air intake these past few weeks. It was getting so bent out of shape anyway, it was really busted.
heres a few before pics with the stock air filter.
the old crap:
The biggest problem i had with this was there was a precut hole with a grommet in it designed for the oxygen sensor. I tried for a while to slide the sensor into the tube but it was just way too tight. I gave up and went to autozone where the guy just gave me a bigger diameter grommet for free which worked perfectly.
the finished product:
So now theres a new sound to my car which makes it sound a little bit meaner. Also, its WAY more responsive now. gas= acceleration. unlike before where it was press down on the gas and wait a few seconds for it to start accelerating. I'm very pleased with the results.
Thanks again to 88delta88 for showing me those other eighty-eights. thats basically where i got the idea to do this from
To 88_cutlass: this is where i got mine:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-OL ... 3989QQrdZ1
if your looking for a cheap way to make your car a little more responsive, i recommend this route.

unfortunately, i cant give you exact numbers in horsepower or quartermile times, but after i calmed down from the excitement i had from working on my own car for the first time, there was still a noticeable difference.
Don't expect to be thrown back into your seat when you step on the gas, but from i noticed, Ive had about half a tank of gas for a week... which is new cause my car loves gasoline. Other than that, the most noticeable change is the response. Before my car was extremely sluggish; about 0-60 in 20 seconds (im pulling these numbers out of my ass) but now when i step on the gas, theres a bit more power which lets me act like a have an actual muscle car haha
It was easy to install for me (which means anyone can do it) it looks clean in the engine, and it adds a nice little sound which was something i didn't expect.
Im very pleased with it. Now that ive done something like this, im determined to keep trying to work on my car
Let me know how it works out for you afrats.
