Im trying to get it for like $50 or less....anyone want one?? Im sure you can rig it to any kind of filter...hell if you put it up to your filter thats colder air right there! Will work wonders for your SRI

BTW i tried making one of my own but you cant buy tubing like that at home depot or lowes the biggest they had was 1.75" and then there was some aluminum ducting...it wont work very well. Also the only scoop type thing i could find was a vacuum attachment...its not worth it...this kit comes with everything i especially like the cover for rain.

I was wondering when someone would make one of those things. I would buy one but I want to wait and see how it works on another member's car...I'm not about to put a worthless hole in my hood for some P.O.S. ram air "attachment." Dyno looks good, if anyone buys this, let me know what you think.

quit hatin it'll give your SRI's a big boost....plus a lil extra boost for CAI's

Oh and olympicdrinker, it goes to your front bumper not your hood!! I will show you a pic...

cmon guys i only need 5 people for free shipping.

 
Rep Power: 374

this is only 50 bucks for an extra say 1-5 hp

this should be in the for sale section

 
Rep Power: 374

nothing is forsale yet

OK GUYS, for those of you skeptical. I doubt i will get a dyno just for this. But I will give you my best estimate on how it feels. The guy let me have it for $50 and will still let anyone else have it for 50 that i refer to him. But i should get it this week, ill post pics and let you know how it works. Oh yea i cant dyno it cause it needs ram air to work.

So how do you get air when it's raining? And would it work with an Injen SRI?

 
Rep Power: 374

well the hose is 3" in diameter, you need a filter with a cone in front. It will fit over the front of the cone. Like this one for example.
something like that

 
Rep Power: 374

If you dont think it wont fit, you can always but a cheap rubber coupling from homedepot to make it fit.

 
Rep Power: 374

What im going to do is make a heatshield over my existing filter. and ahve the pipe connected to the tip of my filter. So if i plugged the ram air kit it can still get air up by the filter.



I thought about getting one of these filters I think it would work great with it.

just out of curiousity.. what makes u think that the end section will fit on the throttle body facing up, clear the hood and bend without putting a crease in the piping?

my friend has aem ram air for his 96 dx and it really made a dif.. i mean with it on he can actually pass people now lol..

 
Rep Power: 374

The rubber elbow i bought. I also have exta intake piping i can cut to fit it however i want.

 
Rep Power: 374

Also look at YS's intake he has a rubber elbow connected to his throttle body to his pipe

how is this different from that fake intercooler thing that brings air up from the front of the car? They used to sell them on eBay.

Also, there's a huge bend in the pipe. Isn't RAM air all about getting air in in a straight line (like the hood of a firebird or whatever that one ram air car is)?

But, I may be interested. Also, I could report gains with my GTech.

I see. My bad, thanks for clearing that up.

 
Rep Power: 332

Noe nessicarily, If you look at the Ram Air on a Grand Am GT, the system curves almost straight down. If it came straight in, where would water go when it was raining? By curving down, the water gets trapped until the throttle is let off and the water can run back out.

will it work if you do not cut out ur front bumper????

 
Rep Power: 527

So does the orange filter (the spot I marked with an X on my picture) on that connect to your normal intake tube?

And what about that huge bend? Wouldn't that slow air down? Look:

 
Rep Power: 374

What?? there's no cutting.

 
Rep Power: 374

And your point is? your lil diagram shows cold air going to the filter....It wont be that big of a bend...im going to try to run it under the car then see how it fits to the side aswell.

 
Rep Power: 0

welli thought ram air likes a straight path to the throttle body not a big curve just before

how much would it help my aem cai? and how would i even install the thing, my aem filter is almost on the ground. and where would you mount it to? if youre getting one of these be sure to do a diy.

 
Rep Power: 374

If you wanted to keep the CAI, i guess you could cut the tubing. But im converting my cai to an SRI then putting the tube to it. I will let you know as soon as i recieve it.
