Why'd you go with the K&N one?? I hate thatnasty ass corner/bend it has in it (there it goes above/around the radiator) and also how it bottlenecks itself... but better than nothing I guess

If you have one in your hand you will notice how HUGE it is above those two kinks. I said the same thing myself but for a $150 bucks you can't complain for a brand new system from a trusted brand name.

I always thought it was some sort of protection for heat not to cook the paint on the hood?

non vented opti's were in f-bodys from 93-94. Vented Opti's were from 95-97. After 3 years of the optispark, gm realized that moisture got in and ruined them. So adding a vent line that goes to the CAI, keeps it drier.

I havent seen them on Fiber glass hoods ever, but I think that is due to #1, its an aftermarket deal, and #2, they might disapate or not abosorb heat like a steel hood does. My Maxx has it.
