anyone out there built their own ram air for a trans am? Looking to do my own and wanted some ideas from people who have done their own.
Thanks in advance!

You can use the foglight holes for some hoses to connect under your air box. I've installed a few on TA's. Looks pretty trick.
heres one for camaro's but it can easily be made for TA's.

can try something like i ahve in sig but make it bottle neck some if you dont wanna lose the ac, the reason for the removal of the ac is so i can get maximum air with cutting the radiator support up. IF you really dont mind hacking it up then you could keep the ac and just jack into the support and have it full size like i do, but i didn't want to hack it up so i recessed it a little and took ac out. check sig out this will work for a trans am too, Chris

My buddy and I made one for his WS6. First we removed the hood baffles. Then we took sheet metal and rivited a rectangular section extending the lower airbox opening forward against the hood. Finish it up with some weatherstripping for a good seal and youre good to go.

You can also cutout the nostrils in the hood latch area.

i did this. i regret it later because i had holes in my hood. kinda steps over the line as far as "ghetto" goes in my opinion.

Sounds like you didn't do it right

Thought for all of us that are building home grown ram air, you can get an ear full.

Do you guys think the flow pac ram air set up would be better or the tubes from the fog light area to the bottom of the air box.
