I've been wanting to upgrade my air intake sys. and just havn't found anything I like.

I was wondering If anyone has tried to modify the air grills on a stock t/a hood to operate as cold air engine intake? Could the "Y" air intake off of a thrid gen camaro work? Just flip it over, to collect air from the hood?

What do you think? any chance?

 

I thought about this too, I think it would work, should look good too.

 

There is no room between the rad support and hood.

 

it works on camaro's? isn't that clearence the same?

 

No.
The hood /fenders on Trans Ams are sloped quite a bit more.

 

SO THE GRILLS ARE JUST FOR LOOKS, TOO BAD

 

if you look around on here you will find someone did it to there GTA.

 

I did a seach before I posted, any idea what forum?

 

I looked into this,
you have to move the rad down or have the hood lifted to get the right clearance.

Try putting a piece of styrofoam underneath the hood and close it where the intake tube would be, it will crush it.

this will be the topic i mentioned, and was on this forum on page 2.

 

thank u very much, the thread looks promising. I guess I didn't type the right words into the seach engine. sorry.

 

heck,
on the ta incerts for the hood just cut the back side to let out hot air from under the hood. I did- it probly dose not do much but to each his owen.

j/k with ya, but i dont really think they do too much accept let water drain into then when it rains..they may let some heat out, but not too much
