kfahn Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Long and short of it, I have searched to no avail, and I want to know: 1) Does it exist? 2) If yes, where and how do you get to it? Thanks in advance to the W-body gurus! Quote
sl3196 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Nope, I believe its only on the 97+ w-bodys. Quote
NOHC_WBody Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Nope, I believe its only on the 97+ w-bodys. Damn j00 second gen guys & your fancy-schmancy filtered air. Quote
Goph Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Nope, I believe its only on the 97+ w-bodys. Then why the hell don't my 2000 have one? I think it came with one but some one took it out. Quote

Bossman429 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Filters the air that blows through your vents. Cars without a cabin air filter just suck fresh air through the cowl under the hood. It was likely an option on the 97+ GPs. There is a hole for it, just some had it, and some didn't. I installed one in an 02 Impala that didn't have one previously. It just lays in the hole. The hole for it is above the blower motor, you have to pull one side of the cowl up to get to it. Quote
Prospeeder Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Lol, whats the point *sisy girl voice* Oh my god! theres dust blowing around, im gonna die now, stupid GM! Quote
chadz34 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Anyone have a picture of what they look like? Quote
Prospeeder Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 i wouold assume like, just a little square filter Quote
sl3196 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 No gp's came with one stock. Here's a pic: Quote
bartonmd Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Lol, whats the point *sisy girl voice* Oh my god! theres dust blowing around, im gonna die now, stupid GM! You ever followed another car down 10 miles of gravel road through the woods on a calm day? If so, you wouldn't take that attitude... It is ABSOLUTELY miserable! Mike Quote
1990lumina Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 My mom's CL has one of those cabin air filters...I was surprised to see the amount of shit that it catches...however it was replaced at the dealership during the regular maintance...I got to see the old one, nice and dirty ! Quote
runt Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 I may just have to pick on of those up. It's just a standard air filter correct? Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 I kinda wish I had one Sometimes I get in a rush and spill oil, tranny fluid, etc on the engine.. then it smokes up and is hard to breath in the car (even though the fan may be turned off, a little bit still goes through). Quote
GP1138 Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 Think that'd cut down on air just blowing through the vents at high speeds, even when the blower is off? Quote
Prospeeder Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 lol, do grand ams 99+ have them too? Quote
DiscoStudd Posted August 9, 2005 Report Posted August 9, 2005 You guys also have to see it this way: Not only does it improve the cabin's air quality, but it also keeps the dust/dirt/leaves off of the AC's evaporator core (and believe me, it's a royal pain having to clean that sucker off!) Quote
Bossman429 Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 (and believe me, it's a royal pain having to clean that sucker off!) No joke! Quote

I remember someone a few years back cleaned one, got any pics of it? Quote
