Is your Camaro this way?

Ok, I was looking through my CarCraft and read a how to on setting up a ram air system through the foglight housing. On my 89 IROC, the housing for the foglights is open at the back and flows air onto the radiator. Did someone cut the backs off of the housing, or am I going about this all wrong? Am I suppose to seal the backs off and then reroute air into the air dual snorkels?

Owner of a 1989 IROC Camaro, a.k.a. "The Babe Magnet". Painted a cheap metallic blue that chips off all too easily and covers over the IROC decals on the doors, also has non-leaking T-tops, ps, pw, power rear hatch, working A/C. Mods: SLP intake runners, gutted MAF sensor, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, modified air spoil, 3.2? posi rear end.
Broken stuff: rear spoiler brake light, driver side lock, power antenna, tilt steering, rear end bushings, cracked passanger side ground effect, washer fluid tab, leaking exhaust and a rotted through muffler that sparks when the car bottoms out while driving like any 17 year old does.

The foglight housings on your car are exactly the way they're supposed to be. You just have to cut two holes in the plastic piece separating the air snorkel from the foglight housings. Then you can run heating duct through the holes to the snorkel inlets. It's pretty easy. Don't take my word for it - check out the article by Andris Skulte on the board. It's in the tech articles section, terribly easy to find. Good luck and have fun

Someone makes a lower airfilter element holder for TPI that is custom made to do this. I saw one guy who had it and it was pretty trick. Maybe someone knows who made it. I converted to dual cold air from SLP
