free ram air question
I know this is probably a stupid question but I am all new to this. I have a 99 firehawk and I know mine has the ram air, but what is the cut out for where the air filter lays in. What is the point in doing it. Do I really need to cut that piece out and will I gain any power.

Ram as much air as you can
There are stock baffles that restrict air flow in the ram air box. I think some people cut them and some het an aftermarket lid without the retriction. with lid or free mod, even if you drive in the rain, your filter will not get wet because air will still have to go around a baffle behind your bumper.
Its not going to make a difference on a stock engine, but every little bit of air helps with future mods. I hope that helped
also: firehawk setup might be different than t/a because the bumper has to accomadate hood inlets so its either aligned different or the bumper inlets are ground down a little bit- not sure
