The suck hot *** air from a passage in front of the ac condenser up to the filter... Get yourself an aftermarket lid & a fast toys ram air kit & call it good.

Directly in front of the radiator - top and center.

You can remove the intake cowl and enlarge the slits below the filter or spend money on a kit that runs some duct work downwards. An aftermarket lid can be used to replace the resonator box's and give you some performance. I used the SLP lid and just cut the lower intake slots open. With just the SLP loudmouth catback and the intake modification my car dyno'd 327.5 hp and just over 350 lb ft of torque.
