I understand where you're coming from James and what I'm trying to do is get away from cutting any part of he original vehicle (bonnet, firewall etc) or modding the original aircleaner as (with the rest of the ute) I want to be able to return it to absolute original looking easily. That said the original in/exh manifolds are no longer fitted but could be in a pinch - though they'd probably knock 100+hp off the current power output if they were to be fitted again as the (much!) bigger displacement would have a hard time dealing with the restrictions.

Thought about a cowl induction (would work the best hands down) but that would involve cutting the firewall. Reckon the idea of a Camaro twin snorkel is going to work more the way I want. Appreciate the input though!
