Building a eROD LS3 and want to make it street legal. Any suggestion on what intake I can use?

I would assume that any intake would be street legal. Why would there be an issue?

The kit instructions only specify the air filter element from the kit, the proper length of tubing and where to place the MAF sensor. As long as you meet those requirements it would be legal.

The problem is soo many of the Techs are interrupting on there own. Chevy has clearly laid out what is required to be legal.

BTW there is a great thread about the conversion on the Corvette forum with installation into a 87 C4 Corvette. Just search for EROD.

He seems to have lots of issue passing inspection, hope I won't have the same issues.

By legal are you meaning you want to get the FC bar'd with the LS3 engine? I ask because it would be pointless to get a aftermarket intake if the engine itself isn't legal. So maybe OEM airbox if you can get it to fit would ideally be beneficial for barring purposes.
