They all do the same thing. Whether it be cheap or expensive, k&n or BBK. But you live in Cali so you need one that has a carb number.

yes the throttle bodies are different i believe i would stick with one for a 3.8. Your not gonna notice a huge difference. Maybe 3-5hp nothing huge. So just make sure it has a carb number and its not to expensive.

the only real thing to decide on is keeping the filter in the engine bay or moving it into the fender well~ overall its all about the same, about 5hp/5tq if your lucky (on 94-04 v6s)

Or save yourself some money and just get a drop in K&N filter for about $40 and get the same kind of gains.  |

They are the same. As stated above the only difference is if you want the filter in the fender or under the hood.

Not a problem. You wanna make sure it has a carb number incase you get pulled over and they check. Most cheap ones dont have a carb number.

You can send them an email or call them. Either way they will be able to tell you. I would recommend calling.
