The big plastic Y intake duct will not fit under the bird hood unless you do some major cutting of the hood structures support area on both sides of the hood latch.
I had some pictures of one but cant find them.

Re: Dual air cleaner from iroc z

I saw a old thread on here that the slp air box are just a hunk of plastic an that they were at total waste of money. I think im just gonna attempt to mAke my own ram air box out of sheet metal to fit a decent size air filter then save up for the ram air 2 82-92 f body hood or find one through craiglist

, yup, total waste of money Said the guys with the $20 Ebay ric er CAI.
Just remember, "they" can't put anything on the internet that isn't true

If you make your own, model it after the SLP box that works. ;-)
