Ram Air Question...

I saw this IROC TPI 350 auto. It had the same stock intake, but had two K&N filters. Then the owner said that he put ram air on it, its located near where the licence plate would be. Like theres two ports located right next to the fog lights. Can't really see them.
My question, if this is a modified intake with ram air, then what does the stock one look like?? Where does the stock intake get its air from?? Doesn't the stock one get its air from the same area (around fog lights)?? If so, how is this ram air?

And is this considered a miniram or a super ram, or neither? What kind is it?

All opinions, facts, and help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"Near the license plate" probably means that he cut the plastic pieces behind the fog lights and diverted it upwards into the air filters. I did the same thing myself.

The stock intake sucks in air from above the fog lights, while the fog lights actually direct air over the condenser and radiator.

A super ram and a miniram are completely different things. A miniram is made by TPIS, it is an intake manifold that closely resembles the LT1 intake. A super ram is made by accel or lingenfelter and has a very large plenum with huge runners(that are a pain to install). This is just called ram air induction.
