I didnt really know how to word that 2 well, anyways, i have a 91 3.1 and i have that piece o crap air intake buried in the corner. Can those dual snorkel intakes be swapped into the car?... so that i can set up a ram air? or am i better off doin the ram air with the intake i have now?

i was thinkin bout gettin a cold air intake, but i dot think its worth the money if i can do a cheaper ram air ... right?.. lemme know what u guys have seen or know

thanks

yes, it can be done. i did it. $12 for the filter housing(junkyard) and $2 for a used MAF sensor(also junkyard).

Is the MAF just to fill the gap?? And do you cut out the rectangle holes on that plastic piece in front of the radiator.

yes, i used the MAF to fill the lil' gap. i gutted it first. as for the plastic in front of the radiator...it has to be removed. the 2 filter setup is actually 2 pieces: the Y shaped piece and another piece that sits "in" the bumper.

just run a pipe down the fender wall from the air filter metal holder and , face it forward bolt it to the bottom of the car, and instant ram air, helps, i did it. i used air intake 3" hose.

Seems that maybe i should jus stick with the intake i have and adapt the ram air 2 it?... Unless there is a substantial gain by doing it the other way.. seems it would be since i could route 2 air ducts into instead of just one. this make sense 2 any one?

what about running one 3 inch pipe down into the left side of the wall and another into the right and connecting them into a "Y" thingy and make a really cool dual setup like he wants, the way everyone else is saying to do it

 

the y will create turbulence and cancel the effects of a "ram air"

i have the "duel snorkel" and make a kick *** ram air system a while ago check out the 10 dollar ram air post above

 

If the yard wants too much for a MAF, you can always use a short length of 3 inch O.D. exhaust tubing.
