Not a video but the guy did a good job documenting the install and included a ton of pix. I did mine 1.5 weeks ago and it's pretty easy. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=257133

Has anyone ever used or has any information about using an Over The Radiator Cold Air Intake system?
I have been waiting to install the intake until the Spring and visited a local performance shop who told me they manufacture their own, and it is similar to the Corvette's structure. But I don't know which one will give me more bang for my buck in regards to maximum air inflow.
Any comments?
The web site for the local shop is;

My other option is to use either CAI's or K&N intakes.

The link isn't working for me.
But I am using the CAI with the apex scoop, which sucks in plenty of cool air from the lower grill.
I don't know how much the OTR system will heat up the incoming air.

The install instructions that come with the intake have good pictures and descriptions - that's the only bolt-on mod I've ever done, and I had no problems.

To do this in your car would require keeping the radiator at an angle so it would never be back in the original position. People have done it but its a bit more complicated than just pulling and intake out and putting one back in.

FYI...u responded to an older than a year thread
