A ram air intake can only flow as much as its smallest point...
Think of air as water going through a garden hose at our speeds...
With the hose wide open you get a certain volume of water...
Now if you have a larger hose inline first and it is connected to the same size smaller hose as above it will flow the same water for the same household pressure as above...the only way to get more water for the same pressure is to have the bigger hose the same size throughout...
So you could have a garden hose hooked up to a firehouse and it will flow the same as just a regular garden hose for the same supply pressure
Water volume = more air flow
Garden hose size = ram air duct size
House hold pressure = car speed mph
Hope this helps some

i.e. The same amount of air will flow through the smaller opening, just faster and with less pressure.

Alrighty, then ... picture this if you will.
10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes,
in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy
when a flaming stealth banana split the sky
like one would hope but never really expect
to see in a place like this.
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
and stopping right at my Birkenstocks,
and me yelping...
Holy f*ing ****!
