that's pretty much what this is doing. in theory, if you get a good seal you will have ram air.

 

Cant wait to see them!!

 

sounds good. Mounting the "intake" peice would be difficult for me since I do hit a good bit of mud and water. So Ill be thinking on where I could put it to where air will get in but water wont.

 

her they are. when i started this project, i had high hopes and for 28.00 it was worth the time but I didn't get to do it exactly how i wanted because i lacked a few tools. but here goes:


here is they way i was running the intake before:

here is the bottom of my stock air box. swiss cheese style

I ran the dryer duct, 3.5 inches, down to the front bumper and attached it to a 90 degree duct/scoop. the scoop is just zip tied to the opening behind the tow hooks for testing on the locations.

nice job.
If I did it like that, Id add some type of screen or filter onto one side of the dryer hose. Just me though.

 

Part 2


as you can see the filter i have is huge mongess!! I had to buy a french drain elbow to fit it inside.

as you can see it was a tight fit and it bent the filter just a little bit. i felt it necessary to munt it back wards and open the solid end so i could get a better seal. there is about a 1/8" gap around the open end of the filter.

Part 3
here is the assembly well.....assembled! test number one was good i can feel the power increase but it is not a supercharger. overall i am pleased with the results but i wil be testing better locations for the intake scoopover the next couple of weeks and of course gas mileage. this was kind of a pain because of the oversized filter i had but i was able to make it work.I am not too thrilled with all the bendsI had to make with the dryerhose so i will be addressing that as well.

dang, that is truly a "ram air"!

Lemmie know how that feels (power) and sounds.

 

Looks Freaking awesome man good thinking with the drain thing. I wonder if you could get a T instead of a elbow and have dual intake on both sides of the filter.

Theres so much room with that v6 twin turbos would look real good in that dog house.

 

Oh yeah did youre exhaust get any quieter from what ive read its a noticeable difference. I was also thinking about using a 2 liter bottle and cutting the top of to the size of the duck and the bottom off. I know it sounds kind of redneck but you can always paint it to. That way you can shape it a little and kind of force more air into the duck.
