Is it possible to use a 4th gen wiper bottle AND TPI snorkel?
I think I'm going to end up using the stock TPI dual snorkel intake with my K&N filters for right now, but I have a 4th gen windshield wiper reservoir that I wanted to mount where it's supposed to go on a 4th gen. But now I'm wondering if it will work since I am going to use the dual snorkel intake? Has anyone tried this before, and if they managed to make it work do you happen to have pictures of how you mounted the reservoir and pictures from the topside to show the intake?

Why do you want to use the dual snorkle? That's a major air restriction that will starve the engine for air, especially if you're running a 6.0 in the car.

Ditto big time on the 6.0. It chokes a 5.7 in most cases.
To answer your question though, I dont know if it will fit. The 4th gen bottle takes up most of the area right infront of the radiator support.
Here are the best pics I have of how mine sits...if you havent seen them.

This is what I had to do to the center support just to get it into the right area.

All of that was so the cap was the only thing sticking up. I had it mounted up higher in my black car. It was much easier...but I had to really hack up the hood support thing.

Granted...this is on a bird. The camaros are different I believe, but maybe this'll help. I know the dual snorkles take up a good bit of real estate in that area.
