A lot of people use a very similar Chinese aluminum one for the C5 Corvettes.
Helps with using a small air filter, I guess, but a good bell mouth is more useful, IMHO.
I wouldn't give up cold air for more warm air, though. I always want to maintain cold air. It's magical free HP especially when chasing the edge of detonation for maximum torque.
Yeah, don't get a tube that puts the air filter in the engine compartment.
On the vet, it goes over the top of the rad and pulls in from the front of the car. For use on a F car, you'd toss the filters and add more tubing out to the fender areas.

Even then, if you don't fully isolate the ends of the tubes from the engine compartment, you'll still pick up hot air.
On my 2nd gen, I relocated my battery to the trunk, then cut a hole where the battery was and attached a 4" tube flange. I then ran my tube to that flange and have the filter hanging down in front of the passenger side tire. And even with that, I had to to also put a little more heat shielding around it to further block hot air from getting to it.
But this setup is a true "cold air" tube in that when driving around, the air temperature sensor reads the same as outside ambient temperature.
all you 3rd gen guys should check out the cold air induction Speier did for his iroc. very effective, and would support 650 hp or more easily. and he basically did it with modified oem parts. put it on a flow bench and everything.
