I talked with my buddy and he said one kit for the mustangs all it seems to be is black drier vent tubing. Think that would work?

You could cut a jole in the bottom of your airbox and run some 4" garden pipe from Lowe's to a foglight hole or something.

I did rig up some of the flex hose on my old mustang and saw no difference what so ever. But I wonder if you use the solid metal drier vent hose so it won't flex and it would be smoother flow. it could work.

Just another though on it, if yo get somelarge pipe and have it bent at an exhaust shop you could haveone smooth continuous pipe to run it. then you would have to find a way to seal the filter in it so that it would RAM the air in rather than it beingjust an expensive source of cold air.

Smoke, I know we both have the volant intake and I think this would work really well. Since I have the SS front end I can do it pretty much as this guy did. What do you think though?

Funny, I actually look at at that sameintake the other day at the local hardware store, but I was trying to find a way to put it in the hole I pictured on the bumper. I don't want to give up my fog lights.

Are you planning on making it a true ram air and close off the air coming form the fender?

I think the concept is good but the bottom of their trucks remind me of the plumbing on the bottom of a trailer.

I would say go with the ram air only on the air box side of the truck and then have a continuous metal pipe mandrel bent to make a much cleaner install. who knows, you can probably patent and market it if it works well.

they never really said how it did performance wise other than an increase at 40 mph.
