Then you have the motified sheetmetal LT1 intake, the LTX intake. I forgot who makes it.

You're gonna have a hard time getting that single plane under the hood of the car. You will need at least a ram air hood, poly motor mounts, and alot of grinding. That is what i am running, and like i said...lots of work. But sure does look nice, performs very well too.

That first sheet metal intake looks really nice, that would look very good with some paint. The seond one, not so much...I've seen that one, it was like 1700.00 and didn't really do much over stock from what i remember...

I think I've seen that 2nd one before.... ;-)

Seriously a single plane is one of the better options, the elbow choices to get them to fit under the hood are coming around (I'm working on it)

Sheetmetal stuff can flow well, cool fast and be tailored to every motor but you don't see a lot of them with long runners that suit street cars/motors.
