the factory air box is shaped like a cone around the filter. it has a small hole at the end which is connected to the little elbow which runs into the fender(99 svt). what i did is put in a k+n cone style filter and took out the screen(had to do some fabbing to make the factory adapter fit snug against the maf)then i cut in a circle about 5 inches of the black plastic housing that surounds the filter off this gives it more air and sheilds it from heat.
total cost = $45 filter/labor=free /cut finger=free
this set-up will be for sale if anyone wants it as soon as i recieve my cc cold air intake.
 I know exactly what you're talking about. I've had my SVT since it was brand spankin' new. First off, you're going to want to remove that little elbow in your intake, it's a pretty big restriction of airflow! What "CAI" are you going to be running? Is it the GMK unit?
