Default Intake idea for new body style

for the intake i made my own, my buddy Jeff and i took a 3in u-bend mandrel pipe cut it in the middle, turned the pipes around to make it bend into the hole behind the driver head lamp and the engine compartment all the way down with the wide mouth air filter sitting right behind the fog light insert(i have an ls sportwith no fog lights). we also powder coated it black to make it look factory and match my cars color. we are putting it on this weekend, so i will update this thread letting anyone who cares about the results.

Can you post pics too? Both before and after installation. What kind of filter are you using?

You know you could have bought that at pfyc.com, but you saved some money by custom making it, I would love to see some pics of how it looks.

Yeah i've been on that site but all i found were short ram cold air intakes. all those intakes are doing is sucking up the hot engine compartment air.

PFYC does have a fenderwell intake. I think it's made by speedbuilt.
