Default 69 Camaro LS3 CAI set-up

What did you guys use for a CAI (Cold Air Intake) set-up with your LS swap in a 1st gen Camaro ?? I was looking at Roto-Fab, damn 540.00 big ones though.

4" ebay aluminum pipe - 45 degree mandrel bend in the middle - 12" run on either side, cut to fit; 4" 90 degree rubber ell (Jeg's); Air Raid filter (Jeg's) - I don't remember the prices, but pretty sure less than $100 bucks for all of it.
