Performance Cold Air Intake System for Pontiac G8 V8 – Instant Power & Aggressive Tone This performance intake system is engineered to maximize your G8's airflow efficiency. By swapping the restrictive factory assembly for smooth, mandrel-bent aluminum tubing, this kit allows the V6 or V8 engine to pull in a higher volume of oxygen-rich air with significantly less effort. The result is a more energetic combustion cycle, providing crisper throttle sensitivity and stronger power delivery across the entire RPM range, making every launch and highway pull feel more effortless. Tailored for the high-displacement 6.0L and 6.2L powerplants, this upgrade unlocks better engine efficiency while maintaining the reliable drivability of your sedan. In addition to the performance boost, it grants your G8 a deeper, more authoritative growl under acceleration, giving the V8 a sportier character while the polished finish keeps the engine bay looking custom and purpose-built. Key Features & Performance Benefits Unrestricted Induction: Mandrel-bent aluminum tubing replaces narrow factory ducting to satisfy the engine’s demand for air. Instant Throttle Feedback: Eliminates the "laggy" feeling of the stock intake for more immediate power delivery. Thermal Management: Features a black powder-coated heat shield to isolate the filter from radiant engine heat, ensuring cooler intake charges. Authoritative Sound: Adds a throaty, resonant growl to the engine during heavy acceleration. Versatile Compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly with both naturally aspirated and forced induction setups. High-Flow Filtration: Includes a washable and reusable cone filter for maximum protection and airflow. Vehicle Fitment 2008–2009 Pontiac G8 GT (6.0L V8) 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP (6.2L V8) Fits all V8-equipped G8 models.
