Sorry no pics but simple instructions for CAI that works 100% more effective than the crappy GM setup, and at around half the price too.
Go to a boat / marine retailer, buy a 40mm ID skin fitting, preferrably with a 90 deg bend on the fitting side.
BTW nothing less than 40mm is any chop.
Bung a hole through the air box and also the guard with a hole saw, fit the skin fitting in the air box and tighen it up gently with the nut that comes with it, now depending on if you bought one with a 90deg bend or not, at this point you may need to go get a 40mm ID 90 deg PVC bend, that is then glued on with sikaflex or whatever is handy.
Purchase enough of the same size ID hose so it will reach to the VS brake duct in the bumper, glue and clamp that sucker on real good, and add a couple of suitable size cable clamps so it is tight against the guard.
OK so far ?
Block off the original inlet to the air box with whatever means you desire, now add a bit of alloy flat so the input does not point directly at the filter, basically it's a simple deflector (2" above the inlet) that allows all the air filter to be used.
Basically your done, but if your a true petrol head and understand the basics of air density and combustion you will have purchased some rather poisonous asbestos tape and taped it over the air inlet (the corrugated black bit) and also glued on enough aluminium foil to insulate any heat coming off a rather hot ecotec engine, the result is well over 10 HP at anything over 30 mph and the best bit, 600 kms out of a tank on a trip, and a definite gain across the board at any speed.
Go to it.
