Shown here in red, is the 9980, Spectre Performance Air Intake System for 2004 and 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 / 3500 HD with LLY Duramax 6.6-liter Diesel

Spectre Performance has recently released a trio of new air intake systems for 2004 and 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 / 3500 HD pickups and its counterpart the GMC Sierra 2500 / 3500 HD equipped with the 6.6-liter Duramax Diesel LLY code engine. The Spectre Performance 2004 and 2005 Chevy and GMC Duramax Diesel intake systems are available with three air filter colors. Air intake number 9980 features a red-media air filter, 9980B includes a blue-media air filter, and 9980K uses a completely black air filter.

2004 and 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 / 3500 HD with LLY Duramax 6.6-liter Diesel V8 engines can boost power for towing or every day driving

Color choices for these Duramax air intake systems come in the form of Spectre High Performance Racing (HPR) universal cone air filters. The diesel HPR air filters used in these kits are specifically designed for the airflow and filtration needs of a turbo diesel engine. These air filters can be serviced when dirty, using part number 884820, and used again.

All three Spectre Performance air intake system part numbers for the 2004-2005 Duramax Diesel are designed to add horsepower and torque without compromising engine protection from harmful debris. These air intake systems use a high quality polished aluminum intake tube to direct air into the engine. They also include a heat shield, finished in a textured black powdercoat, to help reduce the amount of hot air entering the air filter. These intakes include all necessary components and can be installed using basic hand tools for a true bolt on performance upgrade.

Spectre Performance Air Intake System, 9980, is designed to add horsepower, torque, and a custom look to 2004 and 2005 Chevy / GMC Duramax Diesel LLY V8 engines

General Motors made a mid-year engine change in 2004; as a result this air intake system only fits 2004-2005 Duramax Diesel engines with the LLY engine code. Please check your engine code before purchasing. If assistance is required please feel free to call Spectre Performance at 909-673-9800.

Greg Hacker brought his 1964 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS to the Rotolo Chevrolet Cruise Night in Fontana, California

In a world dominated by 14” round air cleaner assemblies, Greg Hacker of Rancho Cucamonga, California, decided to make his 1964 Chevrolet Malibu SS stand out from the crowd by using the Spectre dual plenum air intake assembly, part number 761, and dual Spectre air filters, number 8132.

The iconic Malibu SS logo pops against the exquisite orange paint job on this 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle

The Malibu was originally a top-of-the-line subseries of the Chevrolet Chevelle before the Malibu became its own nameplate much later in production history. Greg Hacker has a long relationship with the first generation Malibu SS from Chevrolet. “The ’64 Malibu SS was the first car I ever wanted” said Hacker, “and I had my eye on this car when my neighbor brought it home”. Greg’s neighbor bought this car, in rather rough shape, with the intent to restore it.

As time went by, and circumstances changed, Greg’s neighbor realized he didn’t have the time a frame-off restoration would require. Having put a bug in his neighbor’s ear, Hacker was first in line when the 1964 Malibu SS went up for sale. Greg Hacker, being a painting contractor, arranged to paint his neighbor’s house in exchange for the car. With the shake of a hand, and a freshly painted house, Greg finally acquired his dream car.

A Spectre Performance dual plenum intake system sits atop a Demon 650 carburetor feeding fuel and air into the 350 Chevy Small Block

As a contractor, Greg is a pretty handy guy. He was able to complete nearly every part of the restoration himself, including the bright orange paint. When asked what help he received, Greg said “I didn’t reupholster the seats, and the engine came from my brother who owns Hacker’s Hot Rods in Las Vegas, Nevada.” Greg estimates the 350 cubic inch Chevy Small Block engine to produce about 400 horsepower.

This Malibu SS features a flawless interior, as well as view of the Spectre intake assembly through the cowl induction hood

Feeding air into that powerful engine is a Spectre dual plenum intake assembly, number 761. This intake kit includes a 4 inch dual inlet plenum and a set of 4 inch intake tubes with a 45 degree bend. It is manufactured from high quality polished cast aluminum tubing, and fits carburetors or throttle body injection assemblies with a 5-1/8 inch flange. According to Hacker “This intake has a totally different look from everything else you see out there. I get a lot of comments.”

To allow for more customization options, air intake system number 761, does not include air filters. This allows the end user to choose the air filters, or additional tubing that will work best for their particular configuration. When it came to air filters, Greg chose two of Spectre air filter 8132. Using the included adapter rings, 8132 can fit 3 inch, 3-1/2 inch, and 4 inch diameter tubes. Manufactured using high quality materials throughout, including oiled synthetic media, urethane, and steel mesh, this washable performance filter is engineered for low restriction and better performance. 8132 uses an inverted cone filter top for improved service life and enhanced flow potential. Designed with a triple chrome plated steel top and base, this 5-1/2 inch tall air filter is factory pre-oiled and ready to use.

Greg Hacker chose dual Spectre universal air filters for low restriction and better performance on his Chevy Malibu SS

While Greg Hacker had to spend a lot of time, and put in tons of work to get this beautiful car looking the way it does now, his air intake system choice was easy. According to Greg “I walked into my local auto parts store and found the intake system sitting on the shelf.” Hacker liked the dual plenum look and was immediately sold on Spectre Performance part number 761.

HPR8956 Air Filter for select Jaguar, Mercury, Lincoln and Ford Models

Henry Ford was many things, an engineer, doting father, pacifist, businessman, eccentric, and a watchmaker. At an early age he became interested in watches and would fix them for people for fun, and eventually that led to a job as watchmaker. It was Ford’s inspiring passion for mechanics which ultimately led him to the development of the Model T – a car built for everyone. To keep cost down so it was indeed affordable for everyone, Ford became the first to use a production line.

Over 110 years later the Ford Motor Company remains the largest family-controlled company in the world. The founding idea of a car built for everyone evolved to Ford owning five other luxury brands including, Mercury, Volvo, Land Rover, Aston Martin, and Jaguar. Mercury was discontinued and the other brands were sold, but Ford and Lincoln remain and they’re doing gangbuster business worldwide.

For everyone that owns one of the earlier Ford platform vehicles listed below, we have good news. Spectre Performance makes a replacement air filter (HPR8956) that’s engineered to outperform run-of-the-mill replacement air filters. The HPR8956 replacement air filter uses a high quality, synthetic filter media that delivers increased air flow to your engine. More air means more thorough combustion, which translates to increased performance. The HPR8956 high performance replacement air filter is designed to easily fit into your existing air box using ordinary tools. Mechanical skills aren’t needed. The pre-oiled and ready to install high performance replacement air filter also provides excellent engine protection.
