polymer intake? Posted By: crunkmaro On: 03-14-2010 @ 15:45:23 Reply | Edit does the material of the intake make a difference? what are the oem intake manifolds made out of for the 01 3.8s... (trying to get some tech on here) -- i rock. Posted By: goldcamaropsycho On: 10-21-2008 @ 20:58:51 Reply | Top | Edit The intakes on our cars are made of aluminum I believe. Do not get a polymer intake! My 99 olds had a 3.8 with the polymer intake from the factory and it split from the heat and hydrolocked my motor. It's a common problem with series II 3.8's with the polymer intakes. Thats why GM came out with the series III 3.8 with an aluminum one. luckly all fbodies came with aluminum intakes. -- 1998 3.8L V6 sport gold metallic, Flowmaster 80 series, whisper lid+FRA, k&n filter.

Posted By: HBHRacing On: 10-22-2008 @ 17:37:35 Reply | Top | Edit It didn't split from heat, it had a hole burnt into the thin area near the coolant port from the EGR port. It's common. Fbody intakes are alum. -- Owner of HBHRacing.com Xtreme performance products Click for new Fbody Tech Articles  Posted By: crunkmaro On: 10-23-2008 @ 00:07:53 Reply | Top | Edit does it make any difference? performance wise? -- i rock. Posted By: HBHRacing On: 10-23-2008 @ 22:16:15 Reply | Top | Edit Composite intakes are a better overall design. There is no choice though.

Posted By: crunkmaro On: 10-26-2008 @ 12:36:32 Reply | Top | Edit my fault for not realizing it. i knew it was too good to be true. well i messaged the guy...he specifically said on the page that this product is "guaranteed to fit" and under the "applications" section specfically wrote camaro/firebird. hopefully this won't be too bad of a problem -- i rock. Posted By: HBHRacing On: 10-26-2008 @ 15:57:14 Reply | Top | Edit not gonna fit anything other then a FWD 3.8. There is no fbody intake other then stock that will work without a LOT of changes, and even so it's no gain to be had. -- Owner of HBHRacing.com Xtreme performance products Click for new Fbody Tech Articles Posted By: goldcamaropsycho On: 10-27-2008 @ 20:50:46 Reply | Top | Edit I do remember the guy at the shop saying something about the EGR, good call HBH. either way, those intakes are horrible. I had to completely replace the engine because of it! -- 1998 3.8L V6 sport gold metallic, Flowmaster 80 series, whisper lid+FRA, k&n filter. Posted By: crunkmaro On: 10-27-2008 @ 22:54:11 Reply | Top | Edit problem solved. now the question is... is getting intake work done useless without getting headwork done ? -- i rock. Posted By: HBHRacing On: 10-27-2008 @ 23:03:37 Reply | Top | Edit yes. You don't need more volume. It's not a restriction. -- Owner of HBHRacing.com Xtreme performance products Click for new Fbody Tech Articles Posted By: crunkmaro On: 10-28-2008 @ 01:55:44 Reply | Top | Edit thank you sir. im really glad your back. now i can start working on the sixer again. -- i rock.
