Cold air intake

Cold air intake
So I fell victim to the shiny carbon fiber FB ads and bought an intake that may not be the best for airflow.
came across Renderos racing aluminum custom intake project and it looks like this would work for my NA.
After reading 949 posts about 2.5" diameter and 21" length, i wanted to see if I can get some advice from the group on the best location and size for the intake. I am not trying to chase the last 1/2hp but want to make sure it's the best functional setup for the car. Thanks

I've installed and tuned a number of those over-the-radiator setups, although none had that bump, not sure if that's going to make any power difference or not. That's a supermiata radiator it fits over however, and with the side endtanks of that radiator, there's a fair amount of hood interference usually.
They make great power, I know when an intake is restrictive on a dyno, and these certainly aren't. However, if an NA doesn't have headlight buckets, I wouldn't choose to put the filter in front of the radiator due to serviceability. It's a bit of a PITA to tighten the filter.

Lurker here, sorry for digging up quiet thread.
Are any of these over-the-radiator intakes confirmed to work with NB's? I've found a few online from a few different sources, but it seems like they're only ever pictured on NA's and I can't get anyone who has one/makes one to answer if it will fit an NB.

Big thread about 3D printing these intakes here.
