just fit between the inlet of the stock box (they fit around the opening
snugly) and the 4" hole I cut in the rubber flap beside the radiator. I
painted the whole thing flat black and it is not noticable with the hood
closed. I had to notch the front of the pipe a little to clear a condenser
line. Now I have ordered a K&N filter to put in the stock box. If u want cold
air and have low hood clearance it seems the only way I could do it. BTW here
in Texas it has been daily over 100+ degrees in the day and high 80s at night.
If the underhood air is 30-40 deg hotter there is no way that can be good!Jim
