This looks great and it's clean. The mesh is a great touch and man that custom radiator shroud dealio is very sharp. I used black hose and will be utilizing the full 3"opening to scavenge air from under the core support. For now I have something temporary. Looks good, CGS FOR SALE!!!!

I got mine done today - well the unit is installed and the hoses routed, I still want to clean up the housing and have some definite ends to the hoses. When Tracy did his he said he noticed an immediate difference in driveability, the throttle was snappier. I have to agree and love how it's not as noisey as the CGS. Looks kinda RoboCop too with all the ducting. So bring in air to the stock housing from both sides. Draw the air from the core support. It's a SortofColdAirIntake. Works!

Ah Great Minds again - that's exactly what my mind's eye saw when I first took a look at Tracy's set up. Dont know how effective it would be but that vette type of nozzle dealio made to run the width of that area might be the ticket if you had time and desire.
