The only problem I would have, is making a 45 degree elbow for where it goes throw the firewall otherwise it would be a good turn out. If anybody hads any roughly 45 degree elbows that is 3" od, let me know. There would have to be patience with ordering and turn around time. 2 weeks tops. But I have to find elbows first.

Alright guys if its ok with the admins. I will sell these for 150.00 shipped. That includes all shipping costs. I'm not sure on all years and makes and models, but I know my 95 olds 98 has the same type of intake as the bonneville. The one above is for my 2000 bonneville se.

Sorry mouse! I ment 90 degree angles. My cost to make these is about 85.00 so, I'm asking 150 shipped. Your color of paint is a additional 5.00. Will come red as pictured if not specified.
If you guys are serious, shoot me a pm with details and we can talk.

Color of my car please!
Man, now I gotta come up with money for this too! Cool thing is though that I can do my headlight swap and intake all at the same time.

Alright. Moose I gotta order the cold ait intake first, then one received, I will get the rest ready so I can get it out the same day I receive it! I have to get the elbow figured out first. I can get 3 inch from carquest, but it had the ribs on the inside where its bent, not sure if anybody cares, I doubt it will decrease air flow my very much. Let me know if it matters or not. Moose, will the color of my intake be ok? I didn't see a darker red.

I've kinda been thinking about this thread and the thin wall aluminum piping. Aluminum has one of the highest thermal conductivity ratings for most metals. Though you've moved the intake to an area where cooler air can be drawn into the motor, you've increased the total surface area of metal subjected to convection heat from the engine. Cold air being drawn across a hot pipe, makes for warm air.
In order to be absolutely more efficiecnt in moving cooler air, you need to use a material that is insulated better from the heat such as CPVC pipe or use the thin wall aluminum pipe covered with a couple layers of header tape. Also a heat sheild below the TB will keep the heat from the crossover away.
Fenderwell intakes use rubber tubing that has an insulation value greater than thin walled aluminum, and that'* why you see so many of those kits for sale and in use.
So if you really and truly want to the cooler denser air to fool your PCM into adding fuel to your piston charge, the more insulation you can provide on the delivery tube, the better off you'll be.

When I Build mine, I am going to use some healthy aluminum tubing, about 3.25 or even 3.5 inch wrapped in reflective foil from DEI.
