Greetings all, long time lurker, first time poster.

Very excited to get my hands on a new LS3 motor that will be making its way into my 56 chevy truck.

The only cold air intakes I'm finding for the LS3 seem to be corvette specific, these are just examples of what I'm looking at:

BBK's: 06-13 Corvette C6 LS3 Cold Air Intake

What I'm looking for is the twin style air intake, like this one:
BBK's: 05-07 Corvette C6 LS2 Cold Air Intake System Kits
http://www.bbkperformance.com/product_images/1735_cold_air_intake_2005_c6_corvette_bbk_performa nce_parts-398x.jpg

But this is for the 05-07 Corvette C6 LS2.

Anyone know if this will fit on the LS3 if its made for the LS2, or if that flat out wont work are there any other similar twin style air intakes that will work with the LS3 and of course supports the stock mass air flow sensor.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Just got an email back from BBK about using the twin filter style LS2 air intake on the LS3, it wont bolt directly on the LS3. At least not without some modifications.

If anyone knows of any other options please let me know.

Thanks!

As long as the inlet is the same size as the throttle body you will be using, it will work.

C5 camaros have a ton of intakes you can choose from. CAI seems to be the best quality/hp wise.. vararam makes a good ram air intake if you want that

Do you have the ability to fabricat your own CAI? You can check out my CAI that I made.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I have someone that can help me fabricate if necessary. Where can I check out yours?

Thanks for your help.
