Get your tin-snips.


Remove all of the metal within the traced line.


Once that is complete.


Take a large coffee can or piece of metal.


Form it into the shape that will fit within the air duct.


Install it in your air duct.
Put it all back together.


You may then assert that it increases your horsepower and torque by some crazy number, but it will actually increase the air flow, and prevent the duct from collapsing.
And, best of all it does not cost $800.00, nor does it increase the chance of ingesting water into your intake air stream, like some of the expensive solutions.
More elegant solutions are out there, but in the meantime while searching them out, the above will work.

Interesting Marty. My buddy and I were brainstorming a bit today regarding this. He has a modified C6 Z06 and use Vararam products. I emailed them and was told 5 min ago they have not been able to come up with any good solutions for C4 Corvettes...

Knowing the LT5 has huge potensial we are trying to find a good way to get more air into it, without turbos etc.

He can map and calibrate chips etc at his shop, so the fine tuning is no problem, just getting all that cold air out there in effectively..
