Ahh yah I can understand what your saying.

As far as the threads I did read I seen where some fellers actually took the time to look at flows on a more of a mathematics side of things and if I read it all correctly the S&B had the best flow. Now being a fabrication guy my self I have respect for the fenfab stuff. And the look is pretty nice. However having my passenger side intake pipe go accross to drivers side seems kinda meh.
My twins on my chev take air from the least point of resistance, straight fwd to the grill
Correct, S&B has best flow, but aFe has best flow at turbos. Intakes are just not worth it though, only for looks. It’s your car obviously I’m just here to educate you.

Afe isn't my

Solid question bud, I will jump under it this weekend when I put her on the lift. What am I looking for?
This article explains it in detail and has a photo.
You can literally kneel down behind her, look up and see it. No jack necessary.
(i checked mine at the dealer, 30 seconds is all it takes)

Agreed and in other words, should've just saved it and gone with a tune instead. No nice looks on engine but definitely put a ton of smiles from driving it
Congrats on the purchase though OP

Thanks bud.

Not to worried about the S&B, I can always send it back if I don't open it. I have the FenFab v2 sitting in a cart right now too. Wife's going to have my boys in a vice haha
