Default Question on Vortex Ram Air Induction System

I currently have installed a Halltech Stinger air intake system on my car. I had the air bridge painted MSG but am going to have it redone in Torch Red which I had originally and decided I liked better. I would like to also dress up the big filter that hangs there. My question is would the Vortex Ram Air Box system work with my Halltech air bridge? I want to use it painted and go with the clear option or even black Vortex box. If anyone has pictures of the clear or black would appreciate what it looks like installed and how much of the radiator you see behind showing.
Here is what I have now, and the system I am interested in adding to replace the big filter. And, is the Vortex a good system to even add?Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Laurie

Hi Laurie,
I have a Vortex Rammer on my MSG coupe. I took off the stickers. I have an aftermarket carbon fiber air bridge and it works just fine.

I just put the Vortex on my ride this afternoon. Definately a nice upgrade from my stock box and K&N filter. Really feel it above 35. It broke the runcraps loose coming out of second gear. Never did that before.
You don't see any of the radiator Laurie. As for the Halltech filter, I don't think the Vortex box is wide enought to accomodate it, but your air bridge should work just fine.
The clear box, with red filter, would look good. Or while you have the shroud out, you could just have everything painted MSG.
