Default Custom ram air kit people, come in
I decided to come to the dark side and start the ram air project.

I'm looking into constructing a FTRA style intake. What are the parts you used when you made yours? What were the dimensions?

.040 guage aluminum for starters.Just increase the size as compared to a ftra.If you do not have air conditioning you can make it neck down to about 3 inches instead of the small 1 inch of the ftra.Also you will have to elongate the four bolt holes for the radiator support,move it back a little.

Check out my car domain page to see some pictures and some of the measurements I used. It takes some time but not too difficult to do.
