Ram Air

My friend told me he thinks I should remove my fog lights from my ground effects to make a ram air intake. I think it would be better/easier to make a ram air intake by cutting out the plastic and metal behind the grille slits and connecting the intake to the hood like older model vehicles. Ideas?

Re: Ram Air

i really wanna do this to, but i like the idea of removing the fog lights and installing them through there and maybe having some type of mesh material to go over it. i think it would look really nice and work well to. im not really smart when it comes to cold air intakes but i would love to learn more. what exactly does it take to install one??

Re: Ram Air

The best place to collect the high pressure air is right in front of the air-dam below the radiator support. The collector doesn't have to point forward to work.
