Anyone ever made their own Air Intake
I have a lid but its so boring lookin. I am interested in the FIPK but do not want to spend the 250 for it. It seems that I could make my own. But Im not sure if i could fit 2 cone filters under the hood has anyone done somethin like this???

If 199TAmaster has a rammair hood heatsoak shouldnt be an issue. The filter will be directly behind hood openings. Any heat inside the engine compartment will be traveling toward cowl as cool air cool air is blown through hood ducts. I could see heatsoak being more of an issue on a camaro or non Ws6 Trans am. Mostly while staging or a redlight.

The intake dmoss69 made isnt that bad, it works and I would rather have something like his intake than a lid. I have a few ideas on an intake and cold air intake for our cars too but I already use a functional WS6 hood w/ BGRA.

I have a 2000 Z28 with a true ram air SS hood and the K&N FIPK...and so far I am very pleased with the results of the K&N FIPK. I could tell the difference in throttle response, and the system looks really good too. I never tried a lid, but I will agree the K&N is overpriced. I can actually feel air being sucked in when I put my hand right next to the air filter, so it is definately free flowing. However, I can see where it would take in hot air.
