Dude that's not, like, girl writing! If you smoke some weed then it looks like your going up and down hills.........cool.

 

well a lot of young high school girls smoke weed so thats probably true

 

You have the stock SS air box made by SLP right? I have a K&N air filter in mine that I got from the autozone. They had the listing for it.

 

that isn't the right size...trust me...i own an auto parts store...we even called k&n and they said it doesn't fit a stock SS airbox

 

that's weird, it fits right in mine.

 

whammer have you tried it out yourself or are you just listening to what k&n says ?

 

i had one...dropped it in and there was a gap that i didn't feel comfortable with...compared it to OEM and it was a slightly different size. this was a couple years ago so maybe its changed since then. i'd love to not have to look at that ugly *** white filter on the top of my engine anymore, lol

 

i just went and looked at K&n's site...found this for a 97 camaro with the 5.7

part number-33-2042 (exc SS)

height: 1.125 inches
outside length: 11.5 inches
outside width: 6 inches

in my computer database here at work...the filter i actually have in my airbox that fits is carquest number 88077 with the dimensions

height: 1.5 inches
length: 13.5 inches
width: 6.5 inches

theres a pretty big difference there

now the air filter i show for a NON SS is carquest part number 88117 with the dimensions:

length: 11.5 inches
height: 1.125 inches
width: 6 inches

thats the same dimensions as the K&N filter...

so green arrow...i'm not sure how you got one that fit, lol. maybe you should order me one and it will magically fit in my car or something, haha

 

All i know is that I have a K&N filter that has no slop and fits. I bought the SS ram air box from SLP and all I said to them was I need a filter for a 96 SS and that's what came up on their screen as well as the other brands.

 

It's also possible SLP resized their intake to fit a filter since Wham's is going to be the original from 96/97 and yours is an after the fact sort of application.

And Wham...you own a parts store? Want to hook a buddy up?!
