I posted a thread that was named "how's This for CAI" It had the beginnings of the system that I put togeather. However it does serve those that do not want to "Modify" the front fisca/nose of thier third gen Camaro to use it simply as a CAI. I turned it into a ram air by routing the tubing to the front of the car and cutting out the turn signals and mounting them in a solid filer panel that took the place of the grill. The typical way is using the TPI intakes and fabracating ducts that will grab air from where the Z Fog lights are mounted, but I think the the air has too many directions to go and this causes turbulence in the air flow(A Hinderance). The system I out togeather uses 3 inch PVC/ABS plastic tubing and it(The Air) only has 1 place to go and it not squeezed through the tight passages of the over the radiator intake.

Anybody have pics of car using ram air hood that works on a 2.8. I need a hood and a light fiberglass hood that has ram air will fix both problems

Depends on this intake your making. Onmine they are actually outside the car. I do plan on getting different air filters and having them mounting under the hood after I get the ABS remade into metal tubing. If you go with something like the pic I posted you will need 2 conacal air filters, or if you go 1 90* off the throttle body instead of the Y I used you need 1 conical.

ok.....let me get this straight

ok......so if I use the pipes, but want to run it through the foglight holes, where do I attach the filter? A regular K&N filter wont work, will it? or will it fit inside of the a/c duct, or pipe?? Do I have to cut it??? thanks

most people use enclosed gutter tubes to make the actual duct that goes to the factory airbox(those with the 5.7 TPI style anyway). There you have the K&N factory style filters.
