Air Cleaner Flex Duct(s) for L69
 
I've searched this site and others and eBay.

Are there any air cleaner flex ducts for the dual-inlet L69 Camaro air clenaer kicking around for reasonable money?

What aftermarket companies used to sell them?

Thank you.

Ram Air Box used to sell both the snorkels and tubes.

Keep watching e-bay, I picked up a decent (not 100% perfect) driver's side one for $65 shipped in April which I didn't think was that bad.

I checked the website for RAM AIR BOX . they list them , but I can't help wondering about the quality of them . has anyone used them that will give any feedback on quality ??? they seem a little pricey . I don't mind the price if the product is a quality one . thanks in advance ...


P.S. the snorkels are my main concern . thanks ...

your not very far behind James . I think you may be speaking from first hand experience . (I may be over the hill but I'm sure not under it) in the words of the most vocal woman in the world (my ex-wife) "I refuse to grow up" . I will be laying in wait for you James . "I will get you back" ......:D :D


P.S. I might even speak to a moderator about your abuse ...:D :D

R A B was helpful and let me know all options listed (in their 2014 price list I reviewed on their site) that would fit are sold out.

Too bad the "almost" options are too short.

When GM still had them, you know, like 20 years ago, they weren't exactly cheap. I want to say the ducts were about $40 each, and the scoops were more.

I assume you're looking for the snorkels (mounted next to the radiator.)

I was looking for the flex duct tubing.

I would like to see your new parts and a review please. :)

I did order the snorkels , I did not order the L69 flex ducting . I did order a different duct set-up . my application is different as mine is far from stock/original . I will comment on quality & fitment when I receive them . good luck .

well I received items yesterday . shipping from Canada was faster than I expected . packing seemed less than professional . shipped in a box that was re-cycled from a supermarket (box previously contained 12-1 liter bottles of vinegar) . o.k. re-cycle IS good . well to the snorkels , they are re-pops in fiberglass . not accurate re-pops , no tabs to secure to coolant & washer tank , no holes drilled to secure to radiator support . not a big thing on either . easy enough to fix . finish FAR from SHOW quality . function is O.K. but for sure not show quality . I am more concerned with function but I did expect a better finish . the fiberglass was done with a choppergun and not rolled/smoothed well inside . after trying to make functioning snorkels at home I bought these . am I happy , not really . are they better than what I was able to make , yes but not by much . price was $55.99 each , I expected better finish/appearance . before you ask for pics. I'm an old man (76) and don't know how to post them . I did not get the re-pop L69 ducts so I can't comment on them . can't think of much more to comment on . for a show car , NO . for a daily driver (mine is) they are just O.K. . :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
