OK, so what i was thinkin is have a "concealed" ram air intake. unscrew the lil plastic/rubber/whatever flap under the fender. See where the air canister is? drill a BIG HOLE in the middle, about the same size as the air canister's opening, then drill another BIG HOLE under the lil tray, then hook up some pipe and put a scoop where the little plastic/rubber/whatever flap was?

should work...maybe. All connections would need to be air tight.
