Default Cold Air Induction Plenum

Anybody happen to know the the dimensions on the induction plate that SLP offers for their Lid. Its the piece that slides in front of the radiator.

I'm really only looking for how far down it goes, does it run to the bottom of the radiator etc etc. Just looking for the ideal length.
I'm an HVAC tech so I cant see spending 150 after shipping on something I can make in a few minutes for pocket change with leftover duct work.
Thanks in advance.

Do a search on this. And I'm not trying to be a smart ***, because several people have made their own CAI on here that looked very nice. And thats the best way to find them. The Fast Toys Ram Air I have extends all the way down and the back lip of it tucks behind the factory air lip.

Thanks, actually to be honest with you the Fast Toys site was extremely helpful as they have an online instruction manual with pics. Still can't believe they charge 160 bucks for that thing.

The SLP one is about half as long as the Fast Toys and Super Sucker units. The both come all the way down to the front lip. The SLP doesn't come below the radiator if I remember correctly.

Just make your own. It'll be cheaper and just as efficient. Those Kits are overpriced IMO.
