BG Ram Air Induction System
Ive been considering this mod for a while also. Here are my questions:
1. It looks like when you install it you need to do some modifications to the existing housing on the underside of the hood? How hard is that?
2. Can you install it in your driveway with hand tools, or something you need to go to a shop for?
3. Also, any idea of the effect it might have on a Nitrous kit? Im looking to put the car on the bottle (eventually)
Thanks in advance!

1. Drill out rivets, remove baffles. Very easy but time consuming, just go slow and be careful.
2. You need a handheld drill/screwdriver to drill rivets and install it.
3. No clue, but I don't see why it would matter.

I'd like to thank everyone for the pics and comments. This has been a really good exchange of information.
One other question... does performing the FRA mod have any effect on the installation of the BGRA?
Thanks again,
Marc

Good info in this thread, thanks for the pics matts22. A couple of questions. What do the nostril corner pieces do, just cleans up the install? Can I still use the stock nostril grills with this kit? Any other place to buy it besides Afterthoughts? Man it's expensive!

Does anyone have it with the Suncoast WS6 hood? I have that hood and the air travels through the nostrils and gets sucked in through the top of the filter unlike the OEM that gets air throught the bottom.

Looks awesome with no grilles.
Bit the bullet and ordered mine yesterday. Seems as though the price is the same no matter who sells the kit. I think I'll leave the grills in, don't want to be sucking in any leaves and/or squirrels.
i just took these for you fellas.. if only i was getting cut backs to sell them lol
the corner pieces i grinded a bit on the back side of them made them sit alil more flush otherwise they were sticking out more
