2c5s had repeatedly chimed in about how aftermarket intakes are crap or "JUNK", but says nothing when asked about how to get the best air box set up. I would apreciate the advice before spending the money, but I'm not holding my breath...

My current intake uses components from an 05 Dakota, 05 GTO, a Halltech C5 system and a plastic garbage can. It's about as good as it's going to get keeping the stock intake route. My IAT's are ambient, but it does'nt negate the 90' turns in the system. Now, am I going to try and explain what I have done with these those components, no. Look at the stock system and open up the induction path.
I'm in the process of getting this OTR intake to fit. If this works like it should, I'll gladly post up the part numbers.

2c5s.
I'd love to get rid of that 90 bend. i'm also anoyed by having 7 hoseclamps in my current intake setup (way to many places to have a failure, and be suckin unfiltered air.)
In the setup you are trying, where does the MAF and Filter go? (Or are you running MAFless/Speed Density?)
I would certainly appreciate any feedback as you proceed.
Thanks,
Chris

Feel free to search the other caddy board, I posted a volant, stock, modded stock comparo from a day long dyno session I did. Search for "10secvette" as the thread starter.
how hard was the meziere install?? and wont running two filters there severly hinder the airflow going to the rad?+ what about the rainy days, or even washing the car? are you going to put a shield in front of the filters?...I know it's a work in progress, just seeing what your take on this is....I mean your so old I'm sure you have nothing better to do than think about these things 
oh boy, I crack my self up.

oh boy, I crack my self up. Meziere is not HARD, just a bit on the time consuming side. With you being in Fl., I would not do it. It's hot where I live in the summer, 100'+. Once it's over 90-95' ambient, it lets the temps creep to the the mid 190's and low 200's over 101' ambient. For me, I like my coolant to hold 185' which it does until it's in the 90's.
The radiator get's more than enough airflow, the filters hardly obstruct it at all. When we hit the rainy season, I'm going to put a shield in front of each filter, they will still draw air on the backside, but no direct water. As far as washing the car, I won't beat on them with the hose, and gravity will force any water to drain before I drive. Oh.... you're funny.
