Best method of N/A Air intake?

[DLFHUB666]

Actually aluminium is one of the best materials to conduct and retain heat.
.

Please Explain!?!?!?!?!?!

Ok maybe I should have said "thermal conductivity".
To save alot of explaining, check this sight out. And I did say "one of the best."

the snorkel is quite firm.

This is a snorkel. What Holden put under your bonnet is ducting.

VT Commodore, V6 Naturally Aspirated. Currently running the standard factory airbox / over the radiator "snorkel" but with a K&N Panel Filter

I know there is plenty of CAI's about but I wonder about grabbing Air from behind the headlight as opposed to outside air from the bonnet gap? So what is the best way?

I have got priced, a K&N Pod with a Carbon Fibre Airbox to take air from the headlight space.. would that be an improvement? I interested in hearing whats been tried and proven?

Cheers,

I put one of those behind the head light pod filter thingy's on a Ford ef Falcon I had. Took it off 2 days later. Put a K&N filter in the
original air box and used the factory cold air intake. Found the factory set up with the K&N filter so much better than the pod. But that's just me......

factory airbox?...........with that sort of give up attitude we would never have won at Gallipoli would we.

Ummmmm......We didn't win at Gallipoli. Read your history.
Original air boxes....., OTR's....., Pod's........,this debate could go on foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.................

Damn rip off in my opinion. I can't see day light behind my VT's headlight, so where is the "cold air" coming from.
Purely cosmetic I reckon.
