I have since blocked off the front of the airbox with a smashed 1 1/4" hose and used silicone to seal around the tubes and seams of the lower box. I'm going to get a grill to cover the front. Laugh if you want, but I'm sure I gained .000001 horsepower @ 396mph! Let the ridicule begin! ![Ricesmiley](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/ricesmiley.gif)

Yes, that's where I stole the idea... bigger than 4" ? I doubt it. Tough to do with the bumper support still in... I cut 4" holes in mine around 9 years ago to fit aluminum dryer duct. Now THAT was true rice. The only reason these fit in the airbox without smashing them is that I don't have a condensor. I checked, it has the same intake surface area as a SR71 and the space shuttle combined.

She's all sealed up now. But damn, you just pissed on my cornflakes! That's it! I'm welding a 55 gal drum on the front of my car to a Fernco coupler!

The SUX2BU ram air has proven itself over and over
If done correctly to be one of the top two ram-air setups available for our cars.. The other being a good under car ram air like the chris1313 setup. I chose the SUX2BU because it's significantly cheaper, retains your ac, has no problems with parking blocks, and was made by me![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Now the advantages to the chris1313 model is that it has a more finished/ professional feel and doesn't require any cutting.

In my old fox body I took heavy four inch dust collector tubing and ran it into my stock box with a K&N factory replacement filter. I ran it down under the front clip and made my own air scoop it actually looked pretty cool and helped a bit. Two of them should be pretty effective!
