Default intense racing fwi

It looks to be good.

Don't buy that pos jmb from the wbodystore no matter what.

I think the intense should do you well. I've built similar fwi with tubing from zzp that looks almost the same as the intense.

I have it, and like it. I installed it at the same time as the headers though, so I cant say how much of the gain was from which mod. But for the price difference you cant go wrong. It's not too much of an eye-sore:

That is what I got, but I wouldn't go that route again, as the tubing is 4" and our maf is only 3.25" so it just bottlenecks after the tubing.

I'd just go with a 3.5" tubing, like the one intense sells.

I went with an amsoil filter.

I got 3 feet, but it was a bit long for where I wanted it. It depends how far into the fenderwell you want to go.

3 feet would be more than enough though.

I was looking at getting that w-body store intake too. What's so bad about it? It looks more stable than the intense one.

It doesn't look like the one pictured as they show one on a 3800 application.

The filter doesn't go all the way into the fender, it sticks into the engine bay about 1 to 2 inches. All they give you with the kit is a few couples, a piece of aluminum pipe and an s&b filter.

It's definitely not worth the price.

Not a FWI but still decent-looking for its price ($209.99).

Includes:
Air box with lid
Intake duct rotates for different throttlebody setups
PCM tray
4" heat shielded tube
(3) hose clamps
K&N 4" inlet 9" cone filter (optional)
Unfortunately, ZZP isn't planning on making any for the LS4 (I asked/emailed).

I wonder if we all showed a little more interest: Customerservice@ZZPerformance.com

If you're not afraid and have the tools to do some clearancing on your innder fender, you can make your own pretty easily.
Mine is done and in the car, but it needs to be cleaned up / finished.
The cost if I have it powder coated will be right around $200, but you may be able to do it cheaper.
To be honest i'm too lazy to search and link, but if you search "build your own fwi" you should probably find it.
