Custom forced ram air induction anyone?

i own an 89 honda civic, i have heard of adding forced ram air intake near the headlights on the front of the car. is this possible, can it be custom made, can i find a company that does this? if so, does it provide any more hp than a normal performance cold air intake? feed back of any kind would be awesome... thanks

I have seen a civic where the guy acquired a second passenger-side headlight. He took out the reflector and the plastic cover so it had a hole in it, then had custom piping made so that it fed right into his air filter. I honestly don't think, though, that it would be worth the effort. Maybe on an 89 though.

good idea for a track car but i wouldnt do it on a daily driver. nice way to get cool air into the engine, but youll also have to worry about water

yeah, this guy only used it on the track. He had his stock headlight to switch out for street driving.
