Unleash American Muscle: Black Cold Air Intake for Pontiac Firebird V8
Your classic V8 is ready to roar. The 1988-1989 Pontiac Firebird is an icon of American performance, but the factory air box strangles the airflow your 5.0L or 5.7L engine needs to perform at its peak. Our Black Coated Cold Air Intake Kit replaces that restrictive system with lightweight aluminum piping. The result is a substantial boost in horsepower and torque of up to 10%, sharper throttle response, and a deep, aggressive engine tone that brings your Trans Am or Formula to life.
Why Upgrade Your Firebird's Intake?
- Proven Power Gains: Engineered to deliver a performance boost of up to 10% in Horsepower and Torque by maximizing high-volume airflow to the engine.
- Instant Throttle Response: Eliminate lag and improve the efficiency of your drive. Optimized airflow ensures your engine reacts immediately when you step on the gas.
- Deep, Sporty Sound: Transform the sound of your V8. This intake amplifies the engine's natural induction roar, creating a deep, throaty tone that sounds incredible under acceleration.
- Premium Aesthetics: Features Black Coated Aluminum piping paired with a striking Red Air Filter for a custom, aggressive look under the hood.
- Low Maintenance: Includes a high-performance, washable air filter.
- Warranty Info: Consult your dealer about warranty coverage for aftermarket parts.
