Default WHY STOCK???

OK on the vortech supercharger with aftercooler it says i have to use the stock air intake... but why the stock one is garbage. Is there a way to fabricate a pipe the same fit so i can use my MTI clear lid. Or does this void warrenty??? Should just clean up the inside of my stock air lid??? Thanks

instead of fabbing up something to the lid (which you could easily do i think), i would fab something with a HUGE conical K&N that picks up cold air from under the car (nice cold air)

just me has done this to his Vortech car. So did Chris Pippy.

You could also just cut the baffles out of the inside of the lid.
That's really the only MAJOR restriction in the stock lids...It may help a bit.

Otherwise, the big conical filter would be best...
