Default are any of you guys using "factory" air boxes?

i was planning on just slapping a filter on drivers side of the engine bay somewhere and routing some pipes to it...

my dad suggested to do keep it clean and go get a "factory" air box from the junkyard, mount that to the radiator support core, and hide my filter in that.

is anyone running a similar setup? good make/model air boxes i should look for?

thanks everyone!

I dont think a factory style air box looks clean at all. Looks completely out of place under the hood of classic cars. thats my opinion. Take it or leave it lol.

Try an 04 GTO box if you are running an older LS motor otherwise go to a newer GTO box.
