Cold Air Intake?

Does anyone know where I can find a cold air intake for a '97 Blazer LT?

What about K&N?

Although a very good setup, the K&N will yield NO better results when compared to a Ebay cold air intake.

Here is the best Ebay cold air intake for your truck.

Price is US$150 less than the K&N and just as good.

Got mine from e-bay for my 97 LS. It was a 3 piece kit that went all the way to the throttle body. I got it for around $35. Works great.

If it doesn't have a heat shield it's really not a CAI... If it's open then you're still sucking in engine heat...

Meh, the difference will not be noticeable.

Untrue... We've tested with and without. You can actually feel a marked response improvement with a heatshield over without. Also gas miledge becomes affected. Several of us on this side have found anywhere between a 2-4 mpg difference in gas miledge. I picked up 2 with over without. Cooler air=better fuel/air mixture.

With a 1997 blazer driving along at 60mph he will not have a huge difference in temperature.

Again, untrue...While it won't help much in the way of pickup at that speed, it does maintain a more constant fuel/air mixture and helps with gas miledge... Again, cold air=better air/fuel mix.

I have used my K&N Cold air intake with and without the heatshield and no change or difference was detected in power or fuel economy.

hmmm, are there any on JC Whitney worth buying? I'm just trying to look for the best one for a cheap price.

Ebay, the cheapest you can get.

And people love them.

I found a heat shield for the cold air style intake system for those interested. Its 31.99 but it is still cheaper to add this on a e-bay system than to buy the brand name product. By the looks of it, you can probably make a pretty decent one yourself if you have any skills in fabrication.
