Just leave the lid on it and don't mess with it.

On my car I did !baffle the hood though and put a bit of weather stripping around the back of it. Kinda like the BG Ram Air.

The Typhoon is pretty new. I'd wait for more results, even though I'm sure it's better than a regular LS1 intake. But you have to take into consideration of adding weight and heat soak w/ a metal intake.

For myself I'd still prefer a nice ported fast and a 90mm NW TB.

For you're car I wouldn't even touch an intake like that until you have an engine that needs to breath more. I would consider picking up a used LS6 intake for about $300-$350 though.

There is a small handfull around here. My car is garaged for the winter. There seems to be a larger gathering around Souther MA/Northern CT

But yeah, once and a while I see a nice F-body, but not too often.
