All the import people are going to confuse your new CAI for a ghetto gfx kit.

You know how they always have these obscenly large openings in front of their cars... for no reason. hahaa

Good luck!

Damn Larry, you don't get anymore ram air than that! Don't lie to us. This all started with you and your dad drinking beer on the tailgate of the truck didn't it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

haha cool <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Be careful of water though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I think that will work well for you especially at speed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Are you going to run it at the track with no filter?
Congrats,
Chris

Nice work Larry. Its cool to see when someone thinks and get creative. When do you anticipate getting your car back out to the track? Do you have any other issues other than your ram air to work out? Good luck.

Looks good. For comparison my ghetto ram air (two 6" drier hoses) works really well. I was going to do something like what you did, but got lazy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hehe thanks guys!

I don't think there will ever be a bolt on kit for this. Your talking only usable for folks with pinned or fastner hoods.

I hope to have the front fascia back soon, Your gonna really like the way its plumbed up if like what you seen so far.

It won't happen fast though....I don't have lots of free time to play with, so the work is "a little here, a little there"

I also got another "BIG" toy sitting in the floor next to the car thats gonna be installed before I take it to the track again <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
