    Triton motors good ?

    impala cluster goofy

    Ok. My 2005 impala base cluster is going bad and yes I know they are a problem with poor GM stepper motors, question(s) are... can I use a cluster not just for the base I car have.

    Air Filter option

    I'd like to upgrade from the stock air filter on my 2005 Impala 3.4 v/6 base. It runs ultra smooth and quiet BUT can I go to a cone shape like a K&N type with adapter for fitting? Better airflow etc. See many on an auction site with blue cone shape filters.
