Corvette Air Intake
Anyone ever tried something like this on a TPI? I would see if I could fab something if they weren't so expensive. Wondering if you could extend where the filters go...
I have an '87 with the MAF on the nose, makes it more difficult to work with.

Re: Corvette Air Intake
Corvettes dont have a front hood latch where that intake on a thirdgen would definitely interfere with. If you used hood pins only and notched the radiator support as well as the radiator for clearance then you could use it.

Re: Corvette Air Intake
Isn't the stock unit behind the hood latch? Can't remember.

Re: Corvette Air Intake
It is but remember right before the radiator it narrows down to a oval to clear over the radiator and below the hood. Then the intake wraps around the latch, the corvette intake has no oval pinch to clear the hood before the hatch, that looks all 3" or so, way too big.
