I orginally wanted to have a Ram air intake and a CAI but I ended up with the Ram air intake and short ram but it looks sweet.

I'm considering of doing a CAI again with the same color piping so it all matches and is the same size tubing.

And since no one is willing to make a CF hood with a scoop or cowl I think I'm going to make a custom cowl.

I would like your guy's opinions on this. I plan on keeping 2 intakes b/c it's definately unique and I like being one of a kind.

And for all of you that don't know what my intake setup looks like or can't see it in my signature, here's a pic or two of my engine bay.

What do you guys think? I'm going to be juicing the motor soon with about a 50 shot.

Id say go for it, sounds good to me, just keep it posted, and most of all clean.

that air box is for weber carbs. he has a weber carb.

Mike, you should have gone with CAI long time ago. i don't know why you didn't do it.
here is my tip. take your time on measuring and cutting. don't be affraid to spend all day cutting and measuring. trust me, the more time you spend on that, the better it will look at the end.

I would like to do like you did go around the battery. I can't tell from your pics if it goes into the bumper or just straight down. Can you explain it a little better to me?

it goes into the bumber. when you take your battery tray out, you will see a hole there. 2.5" fits very nice there without any cutting. you will have to cut some if you want to fit 3" pipe, but i think it is overkill.
if you want more on how i did it. just hit me on AIM or PM me.
