Random Question

Can anyone who has a custom ram air that fits in the fog light holes tell me if they have had any overheating problems? does anyone have a custom ram air and not an air dam?? I am wondering this because i am in the process of making some tubes that WILL completely divert all air incomming through the fog light holes into the throttle body... and i do not have an air dam because my car is lowered and it rips off.... i hope this isnt too confusing lol... hope someone can help

Re: Random Question

kool, no I don't have that answer on the air intake tubes. Have you thought about making a short air dam that can flex?

Re: Random Question

someone else posted a year or two ago and they just used steel cut to size and a thick flexible piece of rubber bolted to the air dam and the car IIRC. Actually the pictures they posted looked great. worth a search for that post.
