Racing Air Intake For Pontiac Bonneville /Chevy Monte Carlo (1995-2005) with 3.8L V6 Engine

Performance Cold Air Intake System for GM 3.8L V6 Engines

Unlock the full potential of the legendary 3800 Series II and III V6 engines with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Widely regarded as one of the most reliable powerplants in automotive history, the GM 3.8L V6 is a robust performer that is often held back by a restrictive, baffled factory air box. This upgrade replaces those stock components with a high-velocity induction path, allowing your engine to breathe freely and delivering a boost in horsepower and torque by up to 10%.

By drawing in cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay, this system optimizes the combustion process for more responsive power delivery.¹ Whether you are driving a sporty Monte Carlo, a refined Buick Regal, or a classic Pontiac Bonneville, you will notice a significant improvement in throttle response and smoother acceleration across the entire powerband. This increased efficiency doesn't just add power; it also supports better fuel economy, helping your engine operate at peak effectiveness during steady highway cruising.

The system is constructed from premium T304 lightweight aluminum piping, providing a durable and heat-resistant channel for incoming air. The smooth internal walls of the aluminum tubing minimize air turbulence compared to the factory plastic accordion hoses, promoting consistent air delivery. Under acceleration, the intake rewards the driver with a deep, sporty induction note that highlights the V6's power without being intrusive during a steady idle.

Maintenance is simplified with the high-flow synthetic air filter. Engineered for superior filtration and maximum air volume, this filter protects your engine from dust and debris while allowing for a much higher air mass flow than standard paper filters. Because the filter is fully washable and reusable, it requires cleaning only every 50,000 miles under normal conditions, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to disposable filters.

This intake system is designed as a direct-fit performance solution that installs in less than 60 minutes using basic hand tools. It utilizes factory mounting points for a secure, professional fit and is engineered to work within factory parameters, ensuring it functions seamlessly with your vehicle's existing setup.
