First off this goes ou to the dude at the nats with the busted intake.I think tim said it was squirrel. I was gonna race, but i didnt have long pants and got told i couldnt. I went looking fo ya to lend ya my pipe, but u guess you went to Lowes. Any luck with the pipe?
For those who do not know, Lowes has 3 inch Electrical conduit that makes a perfect intake for lt1 cars. I picked up 10+ rwhp over stock box with mine. I was gonna make them and sell them on ebay, but i am too honest of a person to do that. Without the K&N i got for mine, it was 10 bucks for the pipe and paint. I have a 1993 so it has no MAF(Speed density FTW!), but it will work with a MAF usng a silicon hose piece. It can be trimmed with a sawzall and is absolutly smooth inside.

It looks stock, and it put the filter outside the engine bay. I want to make a block off plate like SLP intake, but have not had the time. It does clear the hood and the radiator on my car with no issues. If ou have a trick-flow or ssome other hard elbow you will need to have a flexable piece between the intake nad the elbow. THe stock rubber elbow has enough flex to accomodate the install. a 1LE elbow is a great compliment to this piece.
Just thought i would post this for all of us poor LT1 owners. LOL
