Default Made a Ram Air Set-up
Me and a buddy got bored and decided to make a ram air setup. I dont have many pics, but i will have more soon. Here's an idea. It is a 5 1/2" opening at the top. It is a NON a/c version

Thanks
LOL, it works great too. The FTRA one is such a waste of money. The opening is like 1". Its pathetic. This one we made here should gain some MPH I hope

Isn't the FTRA one for A/C though? There is very limited room for those of us that need A/C.
You're in FL too, A/C is a must in the summer.

He cut the front support too so he could fit a bigger size opening there.. So if you still have A/C you can cut the support too for more room.

The camaro isn't the DD, more of a weekend warrior and track car. Yes the FTRA is for A/C. Aslo Chrs1313 makes one that is alot wider for an A/C version car, than the FTRA.

Looks good! Would like to see a couple pics from underneath.

And... 2800 lbs? That's pretty damn light!

I really, really don't enjoy your avatar

I was wondering how you possibly fit that with your AC condensor/radiator, but cutting out the support brace makes sense. So far it looks really good! Definitely in for more pics.

The car doesn't have A/C, just a radiator. It is 2 1/2 wider than my CHRS1313 ram air set up (non a/c).......I cant wait to see the results
