The stock \"Home Plate\" resonator sits directly on top of the engine, acting as a massive heat sink that soaks up engine bay temperatures and slows down intake velocity. For those of us who spend time on the forums, we know the \"Home Plate Delete\" is one of the first mods every owner does—this kit takes that fix to the next level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system replaces the entire restrictive assembly with mandrel-bent T-304 aluminum piping. By streamlining the path from the filter to the throttle body, you’re reducing the air turbulence that plagues the stock plastic bellows. Whether you are running the high-revving 4.3L L99 or the legendary 5.7L LT1, this intake provides the cooler, denser air charge required to maximize your ignition timing and fuel maps. It’s the most cost-effective way to get that signature B-Body induction growl while sharpening throttle response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the sound, the real benefit is the removal of the factory bottlenecks. The lightweight T-304 aluminum construction is specifically chosen for its ability to dissipate heat faster than the stock rubber and plastic components. This ensures that even during stop-and-go traffic or staging at the track, your intake air temperatures (IATs) stay as low as possible, preventing the ECU from pulling timing and robbing you of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You Need This Upgrade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMandrel-Bent Velocity:\u003c\/strong\u003e The smooth-wall T-304 aluminum piping eliminates internal turbulence for a faster, more direct air charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Soak Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight aluminum dissipates heat far more efficiently than the bulky, heat-trapping OEM plastic resonators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAggressive Induction Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Replaces the silence-tuned factory boxes with a deep, throaty V8 growl that opens up under wide-open throttle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved Throttle Mapping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Increases air velocity to eliminate that \"heavy\" pedal feeling common in stock Caprices and Impalas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Flow Filtration:\u003c\/strong\u003e The included washable filter provides superior surface area compared to paper elements, ensuring the LT1 never starves for air.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin-bottom: 20px;\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1994-1996 Chevy Caprice \u0026amp; Impala SS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEngine Code\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e5.7L LT1 \/ 4.3L L99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eInstallation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEasy \/ Est. 45 Minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eT-304 Aluminum \/ Polished Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a true bolt-on kit. Pro Tip: Disconnect the negative ground cable from the battery for at least ten minutes during the install. This forces the PCM to reset its long-term fuel trims, allowing it to \"learn\" the increased airflow from the new system immediately upon startup. Ensure all clamps are tightened securely to prevent unmetered air leaks past the MAF sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReplaces These OEM Applications \u0026amp; Part Numbers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1994-1996 Chevrolet Caprice (4.3L L99 \u0026amp; 5.7L LT1 V8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1994-1996 Chevrolet Impala SS (5.7L LT1 V8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: monospace; font-size: 0.9em; color: #666; background-color: #f5f5f5; padding: 10px; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003eT-304 Aluminum Intake Pipe, High-Flow Air Filter, Mounting Clamps, Silicone Couplers, Installation Hardware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStop choking your V8 with 30-year-old plastic tech—upgrade to a high-velocity intake and feel the difference in every gear.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47758316273912,"sku":"DS-SI-CH-08RD-07-L","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/RED_CAPRECE__83068.1604676845.1280.1280.jpg?v=1770173502","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/cold-air-intake-for-chevy-impala-caprice-1994-1996-4-3l-5-7l-v8-engines","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
