Default Any way to make a ram air intake?

i know the k&n is pretty good, but was wondering if there is anybody out there that has made a full on working ram-air, not really sure how it would be done but i would like to figure something out on how to do this, also i know that the intake plenum is pretty restictive, and eventually am planning on toss'n a ls2 intake on or sending mine out to have it cleaned out, just to make sure i get the most out of a ram-air if i can figure out how to do it

I believe a member or two did something to this effect through the headlamp.

Paul and I made headlight intakes. Here's mine.






Rain wasn't friendly to it, obviously. I've had ideas about sticking a funnel in the lower grill, too. The hood is supposed to be ram-air, the 'air-drop' is a bit off. Fenderwell intakes are supposed to be a little better as well.

I've never seen anyone with it. Looks like you may have to relocate the washer fluid or overflow (can't remember which one sits there) just from looking at that one picture.

i dont know how well that would work i feel like incoming air would want to go right past the tube after all air does take the easiest path i think if anything it would have the opposite of a ram effect otherwise it is nice looking

FWIs are better for taking in cooler air, not necessarily a ram-air effect. Unless, of course, you funnel air into the fender.
