I think that setup would be fine.... just leave the top lid off of it.

It seems as though it's a better enclosed system then the K&N setup but from what I understand some people where having problems with the unit, once I'ts actually installed It hits the the starter bolts and short them out.

I believe a read that he used duct tape to prevent it from arcing.

The K&N is more than that.

I got the cold air inductions intake, I was thinking on getting the inferno hood and cutting the box to accept the ram air opening. If you end up doing this I would love to see some pic's.

That hood is so BA. Too bad the options for the monte/impala (MPD) are goofy.

i wonder if the ram air opening will lay down perfectly over that box i think its further up on the hood towards the windshield, maybe run a custom pipe to it? i like this idea though
