That is by far, the ugliest CAI induction I have ever seen. Please tell me it was home made, and some company doesn't actually produce that monstrosity and charge people for it?

boy if anyone ever builds a big HP engine they should watch this before complaining about the cost of the scat shield. I went 4 months w/o one and then put it on what a pain but well worth the money if this happens. the guy was just going to do a burn out not like the idiot in the z06.

Man that's bad, but atleast he still has his feet. I can't believe some people do so much with a new engine and nothing for a scatter shield. I've got a Mcloud for my stroker and I don't even have the engine finished yet. I'll be selling it anyway since I'm going to automatic, but I'll put a plate in the floor board if nothing else.
