Fram Air Hog Air Filters

what are your views on this air filter. I am wanting to get one for my 97 SE, but not sure if it will actually do what they say it should. Any input will be helpful.

If you're going with a different drop-in filter, go with a K&N filter. My advice would just be to go with a cold air intake or warm air intake setup, but if you're still doing stock filters go with a K&N.

I wouldn't waste your money... Your not going to see any noticeable performance gain unless your air filter is really clogged (but then a normal new one would feel that much better too).

96-98 Grand am's are cold air setups... the inlet for the air box is right behind the Left headlight, out of the engine compartment.... So use your judgment there.

Almost every single car on the road uses a cold air setup. It has been that way for decades. An aftermarket cold air systems gives you a larger snorkel and eliminates the air box giving you a lot less restriction thus improving power.

Ridenour's got a good point going with the K&N filter if your staying with the stock cold air system, I use one. It's true the gain is minimal at best. I've noticed a bit better top end performance, the engine reacts a bit quicker to full on throttle from cruising.

well i went ahead and bought one and I love it. i get a lot better gas mileage now then i did with the old paper air filters. i can definitely feel a difference in the acceleration and overall performance.
