Wake Up Your 3800 Series II with a High-Flow Intake for 1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird owners running the legendary 3800 Series II V6 engine who want to bridge the gap between a reliable daily driver and a responsive street machine.

The Problem: The factory air box on the 3800 Series II is a major bottleneck. It uses restrictive, corrugated plastic tubing and a baffled box designed more for silencing the engine than providing airflow. This creates air turbulence and "chokes" the intake charge, preventing the V6 from reaching its true efficiency and making the throttle feel sluggish during spirited driving.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to replace the restrictive factory plumbing with high-grade T304 aluminum. By smoothing out the intake path and utilizing a high-flow washable filter, we allow the engine to pull a larger volume of air with less effort. This results in a direct improvement in throttle mapping and a deep, throaty growl that finally lets people know there’s a Firebird under the hood.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

  • Enhanced Power Delivery: Increases horsepower and torque by up to 10% by reducing pumping losses and improving volumetric efficiency.
  • Premium T304 Construction: Built from lightweight, mandrel-bent T304 aluminum piping that offers superior durability and heat dissipation compared to stock plastic.
  • True Bolt-On Installation: Engineered to fit the factory mounting points. You can have this installed in under 60 minutes using only basic hand tools—no permanent modifications required.

Cold Air Intake for 2002 Firebird 3.8l V6

It was mostly pretty easy to install it & if I had Firebird lifted higher could have put clamp on the bottom faster if I had more room to move My body around. With Cold Air Intake looks way better with more room under hood in front of engine. I could tell a little more HP right away, the only thing I found out is the IAT sensor is very delicate I needed to take out after 1st put in & test drove it because didn't seem to shift properly. After I carefully put back in correctly shifted properly & definitely excellent I installed Cold Air Intake!
