Is there anyone making a cold air intake kit for the GM 2.8 -3.4L fuel injected swaps?

I am making the radiator valance with removable sides. I set mine up with a hole for running a cold air intake through. I cut a dual Holley snorkel and I am just using half. I still need to make the tube from the snorkel over to the valance.

Trying to source a filter which will fit between the radiator and the side.

Several companies make 3" smooth pipes, straight and in various angles of bend, plus the plastic joining hoses to put them together. Just duct from the injection input or carb box/filter housing to the radiator septum and through it (enlarge a stock hole or make a new section). All you need to do is get out front of the radiator level.

This is my complete cold air system on the Jamaican. One reducer, two joiners, 2 90 deg. bends and a very short straight bit to the K&N filter.

We sell a air filter that fits direct to the front of the throttle body and can also be used on 3" pipe.

I suggest placing holes in the radiator panel for air intake. There are several examples of this including the hole in G W's black panel on the drivers side of the radiator.
