I've seen a lot of nice aftermarket intake elbows for the LT1 and I was wondering if they will fit on the TPI?

 

Yes. I was wondering the samething

 

Like in the picture.

 

Why would you want that to be under the hood sucking in all that hot air?

 

Looks like there's a metal shield....when you close the hood the filter should be totally isolated from the hot air.

 

Then what do you have bringing in cool air? That obviously doesn't seal, it could easily just suck the air through the gaps into filter. Not saying it doesn't work, just curious, seems like there's more to that then what we can see, and sucking in hot air is no good, i did that on my 3rd gen it was a waste. But I didn't attempt to seal it off at all and I had no way for fresh air to get in. So I plumbed the original stuff cut out the bevels used some heavy duty metal dryer hose to bring in air from underneath the front spoiler

I'm sure there's more to this setup than what we can see I just wanna know what.

 

Yep, it draws in the cool air from the fender well area like on the SLP cold air kit. Like was stated the air filter is sealed off from the rest of the engine compartment.

What you don't see is the foam on the underside of the hood to seal the top part when the hood is closed. Also you do not see the rest of parts that seal off the area. If you look closely you can see the foam between the radiator overflow container and the fender that seals off that part.

 

I knew htere was more too it then what we could see
