Default custom ram intake?

Can this be done? Like put autozone filters in each hole or something, remove the blinkers and put thin strip led blinkers in the slot beneath it? And still leave the factory lower air box so u get RamAir from the hood as well? And obviously the red lines are intake tubing and the circles are air filters lol

Maybe...but IMO you are better off going with something like a SSRA or Chris1313. I just did one, and I really like it... simple, cheap, and proven

You'd have to find a way to route it between the bumper support rad support probably have to cut the rad support like the suxtobeyou style ram air for camaros

I think it would have a negative effect on the air flow.. You would have to cut holes on the lower air box. You will have more air flow coming in through the nostrils and then trying to go out those extra two slots. Honestly, even though you have the ebay superhawk, the hood is debaffled... Pick up your usual SLP lid and WS6 lower air box assembly and keep that or do the chris1313 or SSRA. I read a thread on here about somebody trying something like this and ended up with bad results. They had lost air flow from the amount of air forcing it's way into the extra hole in the ram air box instead of the intake manifold. Just my 2 cents..

Well that's why I said I was only asking lol, but I wouldn't be cutting into the air box, I would have something similar to the volant setup with the y pipe coming off the maf sensor splitting into two directions lol

But it does seem kinda Mehh now that I think about it more lol

That's a sick idea. Post up when done. As far as cold intake, look out for hydro lock. LS1. Death.

IF I did iti would have little holes in the tubing for rain to escape.... Idk I'm debating on it, I still haven't even looked under the hood to see where everything would go or if it would all fit
