Thats probably because there aren't any. Most guys with the 3.4L DOHC make their own:
3.4DOHC Cold Air Intake by Lowerd
To make a TRUE Cold Air Intake with the 3.4DOHC without moving the Battery if you have the K&N drop in filter:
Take out the box and expand the stock Snorkle hole to a 4" diameter hole.
Now remove the Rubber Grommet that the Snorkle was attached to the body of the car behind the headlights.
Go get a 4" diameter tube of expandable Dryer duct. That hole behind the headlight with the grommet removed will fit a 4" dryer duct nicely.
Or you can change that Flex tube on the stock intake for a nice smooth PVC pipe or go to the Exhaust shop and have them bend you a piece of Stainless Steel 3" Mandrel bent of course.

yup...just like bnaylor3400 said...make your own. I'm going to be building mine the first week of April out of PVC pipe, you can buy a 10' section of the stuff for like $9 at Home Depot. I'm actually going to try and fit it over the battery box by relocating the windsheild washer fliud.

Is this as simple on the 98 gt? I noticed that even on the highway.....my actuall air intake temp is about 9 degrees higher than the outside...and in the city.....WOW.....WAY up.....over 100 if it is 75 outside or more.

I have the same car, with same engine. Recently i put on a cone air filter but the car started stalling and acting funny. Then i got the error code p0410 secondary air injection malfunction. What does this code mean? Does it have anything to do with an air filter?
