Need new cold air intake idea...

after getting Fast RS's old K&N and about 4 feet of 4" Black PVC...i need an idea for a new cold air setup. Whats the best way to do it? The filter is huge...and the piping will be a little difficult to run through the fender but can try..ideas? maybe MAf to fender then down and stop behind the fog light?

I took the facoty filter box off and took the restricting little hole that was only the size of a quater and cut it open made it into a 5" by 10" opening and weled up nice a box to behinf the headlight painted and clearcoated to the color of my car made it look real nice and the difference was incredable, combinded with the K&N filter you could tell the difference right away

I just got a 92 bird and was wondering if the dual snorkel filter form the tpi camaros would fit under our hoods? I have made a few ram-airs with those.
