No holes in metal work unless it's been certified by an engineer last I checked. Wouldn't even waste the time drilling holes in the metal. Cut the hole bigger where the snorkel goes and it will be more then enough.

its so you can run a 3 inch plumber's pipe straight down and fit a POD to it, dont bother just buy a holden VS L67 CAI and your set plus it only cost like 80 bucks

He's doing it because that's what every one does because people think putting a pipe down the bottom is going to unleash the killawasps. Which it won't. Don't even waste your money on that heatsoak intake. Do also take into account if you have an accident and they see you have this lovely 3 inch hole cut through a piece of steel they will have a field day.

noob question (heatsoak)?

If it's a dunga VN then just cut a bigger hole at the front of the airbox where the snorkel goes. Easiest and best solution. Heat soak meaning the super 6 cold air intake sits on top of a hot radiator which in turn makes the air it gets in hotter.

i wouldnt think the air has time to heat up as its passing the so called heatsoak at a nice pace

It has been legitimately proven to be a heat soak. Can't be bothered to find the thread.

Well radiator will heat the plastic cover, but the air passing through the cover passes through too quick to heat up . Might heat up if you park the car infront of a wall in the sun to reduce the airflow

Did yout not read what I just said. Some body did back to back on road tests of the super 6 cai and it was found to have big heatsoak issues.

i can have my own opinions on what i think is right, regardless of whoever else has a difference in opinions

Your opinion has proven to be wrong. Accept the fact and move on.

and thats why OTR are not even popular with the LS boys
it was MACE who done the test it was like 2 degree's hotter then an enclosed pod. the cool air passes thru the bonnet/grill and into a possibly 'warm' plastic mouth into the air filter. you'll pay $80 for the 'heatsoak' intake and $60 for the pod plus the hassel of cutting the hole and getting pipe.
If your gonna claim a test has been done be willing to post a link before being stubon and getting sh*tty with other members

Your stupidity is going to get me infracted again. The OTR on an LS1 is aimed over and facing down usually. Mace had nothing to do with the test. If you can't get off your ass and search then why should I bother. Plenty of other users can verify my claims.

i have plenty of pvc so cant hurt with the over the top ones i worked at d&t performance a lot of cai/ram intakes are on the radiator at idle they have been known too warm the air quite a bit on the eights on the 6s i wouldnt want it at idle they dont suck quite as much so its gonna get hot (imho)

Seems someones knickers are in a knot, thought about counseling before you go and label random people stupid?

I read the the test when I was into the L67's 2 years ago and im sure it was MACE because they do an enclosed pod where FIT do a OTR style and a cheap hose under the bumper style CAI and there the only to brands I looked into.
I had a quick look but couldn't find the test. There's still no need to get worked up, abuse other members and get another infraction.
calm down, stress is bad

As I keep saying I don't suffer fools. Some one trying to prove a point which has been proven to be incorrect bugs me. I haven't even begun to abuse people. FYI I am calm

Does it really matter if it warms the air at idle and reduc es power, the car's not moving? Isn't most of the heat soak that heats the intake air into the intake manifold as it's sitting in the engine's V?

It does if your spending money for no gain when just cutting a bigger hole at the front is free and better.
