TPI COLD/RAM AIR IDEA that is


This is one of the very few kits I've seen that actually look good in my opinion. I didnt like the look of that dryer tube or the air ducting, so I went to the plumbing section of my local hardware shop and picked up these 4" 90 degree tubes. Heres the pics of how it went. I installed some small bolts this morning and will post pics on them later. All the parts were less than 7 bucks.

These are the tubes....

You need to remove the shield that is under the filters and cut a hole in it so the filters are directly above the tube. You also need to remove *if you have one* the shield between the radiator and the foglamps..... and place the tubes in the rectangle slots behind the foglamps....


Remove the foglamps using a small extension, 10mm socket, and a blanket to lay on .....


Place both tubes in and line them up perfect drilling 2 holes (1 top, 1 bottom) to mount them.....


Heres what it looks like now with a horrible camera directly in the sun.....



Take the time to do some painting. Because how often do you have this stuff taken off?

How does that RAM AIR feel when you are driving.... it looks pretty sweet.

 

I noticed a BIG difference in smoothness and top end acceleration.

 

Are you trying to make your car look like a zebra???? you got enough stripes! On a more positive note, that is the best ram air ive seen~!!!

 

UH, hmmmm.......



Yep, I'm going for the zebra look Dont worry though, it's real hard to any stripes from the back
