The bends kill flow, and it sits on top of the hot intake. A CAI would be better for the money, and a lid even better then that.

alright , i didnt know.. i just figured it work good with a functional SS hood with air flow.. im putting a 383stroker in the car now... what do you reccomend ? ?
i have just a K & N with the fat tube that goes down where the factory box is and the air filter goes up from the bottom and tightens on... i just hate fooling with it because no matter how good you have it on , it will eventually fall right back off...

You are doing it wrong then.
I had mine fall off once, since then I pay more attention when putting it back in. Using a ratchet on the clamp helps a lot.
I will agree it isn't in a great area, I can't wait til I'm actually motivated enough to attempt a lid swap, then hey the filter is right there! Probably would get serviced more often then or just replaced if conventional.

Same question has been asked on this thread, it's been dyno proven that there's no difference between the lt1 SS intake and aftermarket cold air intake systems. For the price you would pay for a lt1 SS intake it would only make sense to get a cai system because there's no performance upgrade in getting one. I have a real '96 SS and have had to buy 2 of these at over $300 a pop. I used a cai too for a short while but I've grown attached to my stock piece it just looks good when you pop the hood.
