Dual air intake question
A friend got me this dual air intake system from an older camaro.I am going to put it on my 91 RS V6.Will I notice any difference if I put this on and would it be worth it?

well if you really care about the gains, run a true cold air/ ram air dual intake.
if the filter is exposed under the hood, even with a shield, i dont know how much it helps for it to just be sucking twice as much hot a$$ air.

To fill in the MAF location (you'll have a gap between the air cleaner outlet and the rubber bellows) I first used a soup can with some electrical tape on the ends for fit. I've since switched to a piece of PVC (needed to machine it also). Of course a MAF will also work for a filler.
Can see Nixon1's recent post about the 'Guess the mystery mod' for what I found.

Thanks
I got it today.Looks like it came out of a 86 2.8 v6.I will have to extend the wired for the IAT sensor.No biggie.There is a MAF tube there,so that will fill in the gap between the Y-shape ducts and the rubber snorkel going to the throtle body.I am going to try to turn the MAF tube around to see if I can make the tube coming from the crankcase cover line up with the one on the MAF tube.If it is going to be a hassle,I'll plug it up and get a breather to replace the tube coming from the crankcase valve cover.Thanks for the input guys.

It seemed about same to me. tone did get a "Tad" deeper.
Noone else had both set ups before, so I had half the v8 intake, so I got other half and installed so it would be easier for mrs to check/change filters.
Plus, this is lighter then my CAI I made.
