Default Best Intake Piping Placement suggestions needed *pix inside*

So he is a pic of my bay..... what i am basically looking for is the best way to find cold air for my intake.. Now I have an ek hatchback with fog lights in the front and my tuner said he could have made a intake for me that would lie right where the fogs would be however I dont want to take the lights off and dont want to make a whole in my bumper for it to find more cold air.... So basically for all motor guys with fogs in the front where are you making the piping to find more cold air or is the 3in intake i have with the BPI Vstack good enough?? It made awesome gains on the dyno but im assuming its because I had a fan in front of the Vstack...

Thanks for the help guys




Dont mind the dirty bay



my car

I don't have much advice for better intake placement itself, but I would suggest placing a block-off plate to the right of the velocity stack. It'll help stop hot air from getting into the intake.

We put a bend in are pipe so it sits over that hole that was there. Just have to take off the filter and put on a vstack.
