Yeah, eventually the OEM intake hoses will have to go.

As to the intakes on the 3.8 stroker themselves, they appear to be those "mushroom" style filters with the foam elements; they flow well, but provide terrible filtration.

K&N also offers a universal sealed element set-up, but it's a bit pricey. I wanted to try and make use of the OEM airboxes, which already duct cool air in from the bumper, and already fit under the hood perfectly (although I will have to modify the back a bit).

I'd really like to get those nice Apexi filters under there, but it was too difficult to get them to fit where I wanted.

These K&N's I selected should have more surface area than the ones Stillen are using for their SC set up (and a nice open top!) -- therefore should be more than sufficient for N/A.

That said, an alternate idea would be to build airboxes out of heatshielded coffee cans (painted black, or maybe wrapped in that 3M cf stuff) with duct work going to the fangs. But then I need to make some sort of bracketry to hold it all in place as well as build ducting from the bumper... I'll try the OEM airboxes first and see how it goes...
