Should I install tubes for a homemade ram-air or should I just gut the air box???
I have seen the plans for the custom ram-air in which you run ducting from behind the foglights to the gutted Camaro TPI air box. My question is, should I even bother doing that or should I just gut the air boxes and leave them like that? Which way is more beneficial? What do you guys think? ANY help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I would tend to think that the tubes are the most importatnt part of this process. Cutting the air boxes out helps some, but the tubes direct the cold air right into the filters. Doug
