lt1 cai question

I was looking at the slp cai for the lt1's, and I have a couple questions.
- Does it fit in the engine bay of a 3rd gen?
- If it does fit, is it worth dropping it in or is the stock setup with a open element filter sufficient?

Thanks

Re: lt1 cai question

Probably not.
The open element will be sucking in tons of hot air(my problem).
Making a custom one would probably be the best route, if you do let me know how it goes!

Re: lt1 cai question

Thats kind of what i had in mind only going the other way. What did you use exactly? Looks like PVC pipe. what diameter? and what did you use to connect it to your maf?
