dual intakes. advantages if any?
i posted this within another post but got no responses so here goes. would this be beneficial. my idea includes a sewer pipe Y and hooking up 2 pop charger style intakes. The only reason i havent tried this venture 1) will it make my car run lean?
2) will it even do anything, the TB can only take in so much air anyway. well those are my thoughts. any suggestions would be cool...
THERE HOWS THAT FOR BEING ORIGINAL? even though i kinda stole it. but i thought of it before it was on the board anyway.

No use for two intakes one is enough and that isn't really neccesary if you don't have any other mods with it.

I think it woud just create turbulance at the junction that would lessen the amount of air that went in. At low RPMs a fast smooth stream of air provides a tourqe increase because it creates a 'ram effect', this is supposed to be one of the ways a CAI creates more low end power (in addition to the cold air of course). At higher RPMs a filter closer to the TB will provide more air, this is where a pop charger has the advantage.
I was thinking, would it be possible to have a CAI with a second filter under the hood close to the throttle body. The under hood filter would be closed at low RPMs allowing the CAI to provide it's benifits (long intake path, cold air) and at higher RPMs the second filter (or both) would open up, allowing maximum airflow. Of course I have no idea if it would be possible to set something like this up or how to go about it.
