FTRA

SSRA
http://www.macewenmotorsports.com/susuramairsc.html

The Chrs1313 ram air kit comes in 2 versions. One that can be used WITH a/c, and one that requires the removal of a/c. Removal is required because the ram air kit cannot clear the a/c condenser. Both options are going to show more gains over the FTRA and SSRA, and for the same price, but actually less now due to a GP on it. It is worth every penny and I am 110% satisfied. Ask Chris himself, I was bugging the **** out of him with questions about it lol.

Here ya go buddy. It does NOT hang lower then the air deflector. It should be no problem running this in any weather. It is attached by 4 wing nuts and allen head bolts. Easily removable but really no need to remove it.

May not be as bad but 90 + humidity sucks for me lol. One of the issues I have is the windshield fogging up cause of the humidity and the only thing that gets rid of it is the ac. Its happened 2 times this year already and if it wasnt for the ac I would of had to pull over for sure. Wtf lol damn
