Re: Bought Out A/O Engineering's Leftover Stock

The inverted box looks like a no brainer. With some fresh air ductwork, it would be a cool piece. If this was combined with the BIG MOUTH option, you'd have all the air you'd need, most likely.

A lower air dam with the cooling ducts could also be used instead of routing the ductwork to the brakes. Route to the air cleaner.

I replied to your PM, but here is the gist for everyone else:

What I have is a housing that is inverted. It mounts to the radiator shroud and attaches to the air duct in the same manner as stock. The kit included an air filter lid which had a scoop incorporated into it, a template to cut the stock radiator shroud and a seal to seal the housing to the shroud. The air filter and lid/scoop hangs down into the air stream feeding the radiator and forces the air into the housing. It sounds like exactly what Robert was inquiring about in post #4 of this thread.

Here are some pics:

Hope this helps.

When I spoke to Dan at API, he was very helpful, but stated that the unit is no longer in production. He is digging up whatever pieces that he still has left and will contact me soon. He is also willing to provide me with the installation instructions and template for cutting the radiator shroud.

Pics of an L-98 version of this system can be found at http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-p...ntake-cai.html

Jep, does this unit use an air filter?

Sorry, Brett. I missed that question. Jeff's got it covered, though.

I haven't heard back from Dan @ API yet. I'll give it a few more days and then give him another call.

Re: Bought Out A/O Engineering's Leftover Stock

I have an intriguing idea for forcing COOL air to the air cleaner assembly. I will try it on my 91 before BG. If I can bring it installed, it may generate some good dialogue.

I had this kit probably 10 years ago. I wound up selling it because I realized I was going have to cut the bumper support which I didn't want to do. Also, I don't think there is much to be gained HP wise as many studies have shown it on the forum. It definitely looks cool though.

I wound up selling just the front license plate section for like $150. Another guy picked up the guts.

Re: Bought Out A/O Engineering's Leftover Stock

Received all of the A/O remaining stock today. Wasn't much but it's all new.

Airbox Covers
Hoses/Clamps
Diffsuers for the air inlet (I have a mold for these now as well)

The front inlet housings will be vacuum formed. I tried to make a fiberglass mold but there just isn't enough draft on the part for it to give acceptable parts.

It will be a few months before the vacuum formed tooling is completed. Probably mid Summer.

FYI, if anyone is interested?

Re: Bought Out A/O Engineering's Leftover Stock

Most definitely interested...

Hello,
Any new developments with this?

Thanks,
