Front Mount Air intakes

i was at a speed shop, and i saw the air intakes that mount in the front and look like intercoolers. I was just wondering if those help any more than a CAI since its like ram air

aerospeed makes that. The air has a loioooooonnnnng way to travel to get to the
throttle body. Stay away from that.

actually arospeed doesnt even make one for our cars so it dont matter but i think it would do more harm than good since KJG is right
it has to travel all the way from the bottome of the bumper well sorta speak up to the throttle body it is a long way .

Here. The Arospeed one supposedly sucks.

Here is a thread dealing with Weapon R's front mount Ram Air kit if you're interested. cdmx says it works pretty well. If you want ram air, this is the way to go. There's 131 posts in that thread.

btw, next time you should post something like this in the "other products and parts" forum.

I've seen those too. Don't be a "wannabe turbo guy." Get a REAL turbo and intercooler. What are you gonna do when it rains?

The Weapon R one comes with a rain shield.

i know a speed shop that will custom cut it to any car...AND it doesnt seem that far. A CAI has about tha same length to tha throttle body since they go down by the bumper

it has no ramair effect, the only effect in the ram air is a consistant air stream that flows easily into your engine

as soon as the "ram air" effect hit that front intake, it will just dispurse, and scatter
