Already Powerful 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 GT Gains An Additional 11 HP With K&N Air Intake Kit

A few years back Pontiac decided to restore its reputation as GM’s High-Performance brand. Pontiac has seen much success with their line of G8 models. The G8 brings back the V8 power and rear wheel drive once missing from Pontiac’s new car offerings. A mechanical twin of the highly successful Holden Commodore sedan, the G8 rivals full size competitors from Chrysler as well as automakers in Germany. Helping restore Pontiac’s performance heritage even more is K&N's Air Intake System part 63-3071 for the 2008-2009 G8 GT 6.0 liter V8 engine.

K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten airflow. More air means more power and torque when you need it.

With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, consumers can count on extra horsepower whether picking up the kids from school, winding along a mountain road, or picking up speed to pass.

This air intake system uses a conical shaped high-flow chrome-top air filter (RC-5138) and powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle's stock air box. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, flows more air, and increases service life.

This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the engine is the rotationally molded high-density polyethylene tube. It offers the most flexibility in design and outstanding horsepower numbers.

The 63-3071 takes about 90 minutes or less to install, using simple hand tools, requires no cutting or drilling, and is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
