As soon as you asked the question about how to put the airbox back together, my mind was like "zip ties" and then you delivered. 10/10

[@IchRockeInDerDisco]

Not enough zip ties, 6/20 also ducktape would have been appreciated. But A for Effort 🤣🤣

[@laceylouloulou]

Same

[@jfv65]

I did the exact same mods on my Volvo turbo airbox. 👍😎 About that Truck: sounds like a 5cil Volvo or Audi. 🎶 About the Buick, on acceleration it is squatting like it wants to take off. Install some stiffer (helper or wagon) springs in the back. That will reduce weight transfer from the front to the back . You want the weight to STAY on the front wheels for good traction.

Use a bit that is larger than the shank of the rivet. The rivet head comes free and then they just need to be pushed out vs broken off. Much faster.

They also work great for body mounts on old trucks. If you stack a couple, you can have a poor man's body lift.

[@mattevans8517]

I wouldn't have even bothered messing with that Titanic of a stock airbox assembly. Cone filter sitting right above that hole would've made a lot more noise 😁 The pcm would be fine just chilling there. That's what I did on my old Regal GS.

[@notsogrand2837]

I consider myself a 3800 enthusiast, as strange as that sounds these days. My GTP has a filter on it to make the S/C loud, it's awesome. It turns plenty of heads because nobody expects that sound from a Grand Prix. I believe a generic cold air would be louder and dropping some pulleys would also achieve the same thing. ZZP makes poly motor mounts among other things for these motors.

[@zachnuketown]

I used hardware store polyurethane caulking inside my stock motor mounts and it made a huuuuge difference

[@joannaatkins822]

Can confirm, this is an excellent solution

[@greengrass89]

I have a ‘01 ultra that I bought as a beater. And I have to concur. It is hilarious. Breaks loose at stoplights with anymore than half a boot-full. The “passing gear” pull (particularly useful out in the country where I live) is the best. Crack the throttle, kick down, M90 whine, 45-70+ in a blink, and barely hits 4,000 rpm. It’s a complete hoot. What a ridiculous hilarious and wonderful thing it is!

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

I did EXACTLY this on the airboxes in all 4 of my 3800s back when I drove them for work cars over the years (1998 Regal LS, 2002 Regal GS, 2004 Regal GS, and 2004 Park Avenue Ultra), only I used rivets to put them back together. Filters got dirty faster, but the throttle response actually improved noticeably and I could hear the engine/blower a hundred times better. The Regal GSs are honestly a pretty damn fun car for cheap as dirt, and super reliable and comfortable. I switched to small, sporty, fwd work cars once my old truck finally gave out and it became impossible to find V8 4x4 trucks with manual transmissions (I have to have at least one stick in the fleet that gets used regularly for my mental health), and the Focus/Fiesta STs that I replaced the ol’ Bufords with are faster and a lot more fun, but nowhere near as comfortable or reliable (almost nothing is, in fairness). I kinda-sorta miss them.

[@stern12akachris32]

The hellcat engine fits perfectly in the Buick LeSabre my dream is to put it in mine one day

[@olikat8]

My '99 Regal has the stock airbox with a K&N and the baffles removed. It pulls air from behind the headlight & fender chasm. Try Magnecore wires...they fit perfect & has a lifetime warranty. I have a lot of mods on the car. Comp Cams kit, intercooler, Mahle pistons, North star TB, powder forged rods (stock from 2000- on), counter rotating balance shaft removed, double-row timing chain, LSD transaxle w/built internals, poly bushing dog bones & solid lower motor mounts- not a problem with this car and it's been together for years

[@KevRalph]

I like this Buick.

[@davidpick1076]

I thought the video needed some meniacle laughing. And then you delivered. That super charged 3800 sounds mean now. Hope that transmission holds up and gives you many miles of fun.

[@westenjames]

There’s a mod I’ve seen for supercharger noise you basically hook up a tube or hose to the air box to inside the car under the dash with a a closed end and it supposedly gives you more noise! Worth looking into 🤷‍♂️

[@blautens]

Crazy random torque steer is what made me fall in love with my 1990 Ford Probe GT. I miss that car. Also, I'm guessing cheap aftermarket motor mount? Don't get me wrong, I use them, too, but if this one broke, time to look at OEM.

[@truckerdaveandred6731]

There's like a dozen ways you could have done this properly and yet you did exactly what I would have done. Now all you need to do is take this down to Bill's on South Seneca and have a pack installed

Only issue is water and snow will get in the intake and cause problems with that hole drilled. TFL had a beetle with a similar mod and had issues every time the road was wet.

[@braxtonnelson7422]

I've always been a big fan of induction noise... from my early quadrajet equipped GM cars with the air cleaner lid turned over, to my current Durango R/T with cold air intake. Also, thanks for the free education in applied friction... yes, when you drill something, it gets hot!

[@DaveSomething]

oddly enough, hole saws cut plastic better in reverse!

[@cliffvictoria3863]

Jake, I inherited one of these from my dad so it's fun to see you pulleying it. Getting back to your previous fuel issue, I used a Kenne Bell Boost A Pump on my Terminator Cobra to bump up the stock fuel pump performance when I switched injectors and ported and pulleyed the supercharger. Something to keep in mind if you need more fuel once you intake/exhaust the Park Avenue.

[@jimdelancey3624]

Power sliding from the comfort of your family room couch. 👌 I imagine drifting would be a little scary though.

[@keith_5584]

The reason we hate torquesteer is wheelhop in FWD and snap understeer. Both are the worst! Like being shaken to death, and it may literally shake the car till it breaks. Now that does vary by engine placement and weight, so a heavier car may not shake you to death, but torquesteer is an easier to understand term rather than wheelhop. When you say wheelhop, most people think RWD, making it more confusing.

[@kevinh.64]

Make a Buick sound like a Hellcat??? One word........Respect. New to the channel, and looking forward to your future content.

[@taggsimmons4582]

I bet both the front and rear engine mounts are bad. The back one often makes the front one go bad once it's gone. Get a NorthStar performance mount, they've still got some give, but are basically impossible to break, since it squishes rubber instead of stretches it.

[@ndmac440]

Agreed. Replace all of the mounts with quality units.

[@kevinjanowski9876]

If you want it to be louder in the car you should drill a hole into the air box the size of a rubber hose of your choice and then you plumb it into the car through the firewall

[@ohbillytv179]

You can get a solid front mount for those.I put one in my Bonneville.

[@sean9820]

You have an outstanding delivery of the english language.

[@davidwildberger6656]

attention replace all mounts together. not just one. the other bad ones allow the new one to take all the load and it fails. also srt4 guys use window weld to fill in gaps in motor mounts. or make their own with window weld drying time is excessive like a day or 2 we used hockey pucks on an eclipse once. those ideas should get you thinking.

[@254967conwell]

After driving it for a while torque steer goes away as you get used to it. I have a reasonably modded Regal GS Comp Cam, 3.0 pulley intercooled and ZZP headers and the basic supporting mods and I don't feel torque steer anymore. But a new driver would

[@SandyNickk]

I would love to try and tell you to do things “right” and “as the engineers designed it” but…. I just can’t with this car. This is EXACTLY the way this car should be worked on. 😂 (referencing the airbox job, o-rings where they don’t exactly belong, etc)

[@Spirited_Driver]

I think the issue with torque steer comes from higher power applications with sticker tires,

[@michaeltutty1540]

I hate torque steer. Then again, I hate front wheel drive, particularly in winter, which is about half the rear here. Still, good job on the Buick. Good tires will make all the difference. They are always my first upgrade. I so miss the BFGOODRICH Comp T/A HR4. Only you're that had enough grip to keep my stock 89 Grand Marquis on the road. 390 lb/ft at 2200 is a force to be reckoned with

[@tbonafied1742]

Makes it from a run down Buick to a monster car, then trashes the new motor mount. That is a lot of power. Hoovie would be impressed.

You should get a drop in K&N air filter. I got one for my truck and it improved the power just a little bit but I think it would make the noise a little louder in your car.
