Well Christ, only people interested in the front breather conversion should be reading this thread. Those not interested will skip right past it.

That's part of the problem right there. They should skip it.

Another thing is people think they can come into any thread and start making comments. Andros did ask for anyones opinions. He just wanted to share info and help out others. Now if I like it I may say something supportive, but some people just go nuts. They'll start criticizing or asking why you did it or whatever. That's just bad etiquette. If a thread starter is looking for opinions, he will ask for them. It's getting to where I will specifically write that I do not want any opinions and looky loo's will still pop in and give their opinion. That sir, is what makes me mad.

Even he doesn't know, so how are you going to find out? I think it's a bunch of B.S. as ton's of guys are using ram air setups without problems with Maf's.

That is not the proper response. What you should be saying is "Ok, now I see why your so mad".

If you're looking for better air flow, make a setup yourself. I'm working on a ram air duct that goes from under the bumper, in front of the air dam, up to the airbox, like the ftra/ssra, but with a bigger opening.

I have ram air now, but I think it would be cool to convert my car to front breather. It's a camaro btw, is there a problem with cutting out the grill on a dd? I would probable mesh it to keep the leaves out, but still?
