i tried to search but didnt find anything...

whats ram air, whats it do, & how do i do it ;)

thanks

I'm almost 100% sure that ram air is just like it says...."ram" air.
it sets the intake into a position where the air current is moving straight for the intake and then goes straight into the air filter.

atleast i think

My ram air......

Yeah, you're creating a pseudo forced induction set-up...but you're not even close to someone with a stage1...it's basically making it so that instead of your engine sucking air, it flows in better with higher speeds. Of course off the line there's no advantage to it what-so-ever. So you may gain some top end (like the 1-2 hp area).

hit up my site to see an even more elaborate example of ram air... i dun use it anymore, but did get lower intake temps from comparing short ram vs my ram air setup w/a short ram intake....

http://seangordon1.tripod.com go to the mods page, then the ram air link...

similar to the pic above, but uses a box so that the whole filter can be used, not blocking the airflow around the filter...

good luck...

Yeah, my setup works pretty well on the autobahn cruising at 100 mph, but I know it's not doing anything when driving slow. Plus I gotta clean my filter out like every month. But for a $6 mod, I'm happy with it!
