My buddy and myself put together a ram air setup for my car a few weeks ago. He did 90% of the work, so I snapped some pics along the way.
-We used 6" to 4" rubber couplers from Lowes instead of tin reducers.
-We used neoprene brake duct hose from Jegs instead of crappy dryer hose.
-We used two 4" exhaust tubes tack welded and urethane sealed to a metal plate fitted to the bottom of the stock air filter holder.
I think it turned out really nice. I won't have any real before and after results because I made a **** load of changes to my car over the winter (9", BMR Drag Bar, Draglites). What I can tell you is the car is just as quick at my local 1/8 mile track as it was last year, even with the extra weight from the 9" and the big sway bar. My best ever time there was 7.19 (it's a slow track), two weeks ago it went 7.20 with the new setup. I think maybe the ram air setup offset the extra weight/drivetrain losses with the new rear.

how did u keep the rubber couplers attached to the front bumper? i dont see any screws. did you just wedge it over the hump and it stays on while driving? and how does this setup do in the rain?
