Is it possible to fit a cold air intake onto a 1990 buick lesabre custom?

of course. but will you find a pre-made, no. you will have to put a little thought a fabrication into it, but it won't be that bad.

I had to rig one up for my 86' park avenue. But i didn't have much space so it's nothing special a 90 degree elbow and some couplers(Thanks to Wes for the idea!). So i imagine you shouldn't have much trouble.

What's the diameter of the stock air intake hose? I have a 3" Cold Air Intake filter and I need to know the diameter so I can connect it..?

if we knew what year, and engine you had, we may be able to tell you.[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


or you could use a tape measure. or calipers for a more accurate reading.


but out of respect for the original topic autor, could you please start a new thread.

Wes, if you could give me an idea of the intake size for my cold air intake that would be appreciated, its a 1990 Lesabre Custom with the 3.8 liter Vin C engine

im not 100% on the C engines, but i want to say the OD is 3.25"


i would just use a ruler or tape measure to verify.

Ok, I just installed mine. I removed the whole stock air intake and just left the hose that connects from the throttle body to the air filter on. I put a small piece of 3" pipe after the 'AIR FILTER' side of the hose, and clamped it down. On the end I have my 3" cone filter. The car is noticibly louder than before![img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]
