Re: Air Intake
My battery on the driver side (90 camaro) the other side is open then I take the intake and put it together so the it’s on the other side then it should fit. That is what i am guessing.

Re: Air Intake
Nope, I'm going to be getting it. Just had to talk it out and make sure that it wound work. I’ve heard allot from people building one but nothing about modifying one so yea.

Re: Air Intake
You have a Camaro, I would use the factory twin air filter airlid stuff, along with the ram air mod that brings cold ram air up to the bottom side of the twin air filters.

Re: Air Intake
I would call them and find out how far it goes from the engine to the first 90* elbow and then see how far that would go in your car to make sure it clears. If it's too long you could cut the metal pipe to length you need with a sawzall. If its just barely too short then if they could sell you a 45 to use instead of that 90 it may work. I would get every measurement you can for their intake maybe try to mock up an example made from PVC of the same diameter pipe to make sure your hood will shut properly. I doubt you'll be able to return it if you start cutting it to make it fit and find out that it just ain't gonna work. Just don't want to see you lose your money in case it won't work. If you do get it and it works, watch out for puddles, had a friend lose and engine from sucking up water through one of those things.
