I would think that's highly inefficient. Everyone does all this work to make sure the air coming into the car is cold (CIA) and these guys just stick the intake right onto the manifold like "Eh, whatever." I would imagine all that hot air in the engine bay wouldn't be efficient for the intake's placement.
    There's nowhere to run a cold air intake...battery on one side, and radiator hose and washer bottle on the other.

    They could have gone to a functional hood, or relocated the battery to the trunk.

    Poorly executed.

    But frankly, most CAIs are over-rated anyway IMHO.

      You can call it a 69 Camaro, but its considered a replica kit car that was built in, correct me if I'm wrong in (2006). With that said, one would have to insure it as a 2006. As far as the vin # is concerned,
      I'm sure it has a "serial number" asigned to it so it can be registered.

            I love having nearly the factory equivilant of a CAI...

            But yeah, that car wasn't done well. I mean, I'd take it, but it sure as hell wouldn't look like that for long.

              Its Really an AWESOME car in Person, Seen it on Power Tour.

              The "HotRod1 Camaro" is the prototype '69 Camaro for the muscle car body line-up and even further yet, the first car "Hot Rod" magazine ever licensed that carries that "Hot Rod" name and logo.
              Thats not a true statement either. Somebody either doesn't know or is forgetting about the Hot Rod Magazine Camaro's Berger & GMMG did http://gmmginc.net/programs/HotRod/

                A lot of these builders are finding original vins and cowl plates from cars beyond repair and using the dynacore bodies. Yes, the pieces are produced in China, but they jig assebled in the USA from those parts. It will never be a real first gen camaro - only a reproduction (and the sheet metal is lighter). But these bodies are good for the builders, so many people hold original cars to sacred to cut up - so there is a kniche to be filled.

                Personally, I like my original #'s matching car better.
