Pictures of Vette-Air Inlet and Halltech Venom Install on LS2
Modshack (mainly) and I installed the Vette-Air system and a Halltech Venom Intake on my LS2 equipped 06 today. Modshack had already installed the Vette-Air system on his 08 so it didn't take us very long to complete the job, about an hour and a half start to finish. He is waiting on the Halltech Killer Bee for his car which is supposed to arrive on Monday. I am sure he will post some pictures when he gets it installed.

I can't wait to see how it does when we get some cooler weather. Today is the first day in the last four that it has been under 100 degrees. THANKS MODSHACK! |
Here are a couple of other views of the Vette-Air Inlet. Its easier to see how it dumps air in the filter area from these angles.

If we keep practicing John, we'll eventually get good at this!
Pleasure to lend a hand....:thumbs: |

Hey, that's nice too. :thumbs: Some day I'll have an original idea. Till then, I've got a lot of other's ideas to implement. ;)
FM :cheers: |
very nice, i've been thinkin' about getting one of those scoops too...but i'm not sure why you insulated the shroud. the air temp should be the same on either side, plus if the tape gives way the insulation will wrap around the filter.

We also added more tape than what you can see in the pictures when we were finishing up. I think the insulation will improve the temp in the airbox area. Like Modshack said the thin piece of plastic is all that separates the intake from the radiator.

more tape? good! but i still think once the car starts moving or the fans come on the air on either side will be the same temp.
Think Outside the (air) box.... |
