How do you think something like this would go? I already have the Super 6 OTR CAI, but if i sort of done the 2 hole mod to it?

if i cut a round hole in the cai intake pipe, then put another pipe about 3inch long to collect air from behind the headlight?

pointless. any air pushed in by the otrcai would probably be lost through the hole at the front.

most people i think go downwards through the bottom with a second pipe, you have too cut through metal though... i wouldnt want too do that.

but since that i have painted it black (looks a lil better LOL) and also i took the windscreen washer bottle out and made another 90mm pipe going straight down, so it has two cold air intakes now realisticly speaking, 2 x 90mm, which is a bit of air flow, let me know what you guys think, apart from the dodgyness of it haha

I have a K&N in the std box ( V6 ) and the SS / HSV Holden OTR CAI , i have also modified the front bumper around the bonnet latch to allow more airflow through the "nostrils" to be picked up , if you look at the contours of the underside of the bonnet you can see that the air flows well through this area , combined with pacemakers and a full 2 1/2 system it makes a decent amount of power without a stupid , defectable pod filter

peckzz- Im going to do somthing sort of like yours, but instead of the pipe, im going to modify the otr cai, and some form of heat proofing on the inside of the box..

Thanks
