What's the best way of removing the baffles from a 98 3.8. I can't just buy a lid because the lids I saw are all striaght necks and I can't use that so what's the best way to gett a better flow?

 

I have heard of folks using pliers to "snap" the baffles off, and then sanding the surface smooth. I've also heard people talking about using a dremel to remove them, and then sanding the surface smooth.

 

i can remove the baffles easy its the part of installing a new intake because of the turned throttle body. whats the best, piping wise, way of completely removing the baffles anyone have pics of a 98 with a cold air intake or different air lid. looked through Google but all just show the newer straight throttle body on it.

 

The air lids you're looking at are for LT1/LS1's. 3.8's have their own lid. Only place to get it from is Whisperlid, and they've been back ordered for months.

 

There are two separate lids for the 3.8. '98 still used a mechanical throttle body, and the throttle body is still angled as it is on 95-97 as well. '99+ used an electronic throttle body, and the throttle body was straight. They don't sell a 98+ 3.8 lid, it is 98 or 99+... That is the problem he is having.

 

whisper lid sucks, they give you the lid, and 2 cheap clamps, and some cheap dryer hose... it looked like crap and i sent it back...
