Easiest way to do it would be to cut a whole in your bonnet.

Bonnet

If I attach it to the existing air cleaner pipe, it can suck additional air from the standard location as well.
Would this work, or is it just a waste of time. I have an ARC box in place of the standard air cleaner.
Just wondering if anyone went through with this ? If so does it work well ?
Gains etc ??

Removing that will improve airflow as long as you run another tube to an open area in your front bar. That stock box doesn't even open up directly to any air coming into the engine bay. Rather it sucks up air that has already passed into the bay and would most likely be warm.

Im planing on setting it up similar to this ... Should work quite well and im all so getting a dyno run before and after so we should beable to see the gains aswell, although im also getting a cat back exhaust done at the sametime.

Holy red hoses Jose!!
That's a really nifty setup for a CAI that's for sure.
Yep

Yeah, thats one of the ones I drool over every now and then. Have a look at the CAI on the red FTO in the pictures I posted to Gibberish (What the??). That ones interesting too!!

Are you going putting the pipe here as shown above ?? Or going straight to the pod ? if so which way you going ?? And with the bell thingo u mean the metal hole that sits on the grill ? Im hoping the place i take it to will allready have this stuff ?!?!

yep the "bell" is the metal hole in the grill. im thinking of removing the original one and leading the piping from the bell st8 to the pod.should be more efficient than making a hole in the original one i picked up the bell and piping off ebay for about 20$ i think .
