Re: Hood baffles Help? I had the free RamAir mod. Then I removed all my baffles and sealed my Ram Air. I picked up over .1 and almost 1.5mph over the free ram air. Atap charts showed, 1 second into my run, the intake temp was the exact same as out side air. 77' the whole way down the track.
I recently converted my RamAir into a Quad RamAir!
Drag srtips are close for winter around here, so I have not been able to check performance. I do seem to feel a differance at HIGH speeds.
I will be placing a post soon called Ultamate WS6 RamAir. It will have pics of my QuadRam and I will explain how I did everything.
As for takeing out your baffles. I used a dremel with a 1/8 drill bit to drill out the aluminum studs. For the big rear baffle. All of the studs are at the rear around the exit of the RamAir hood. For the Front 2 baffles, the studs are on the bottom of the hood. These baffles are also glued in. It takes some pressure to pop them out, but it's not hard. I just pushed them out through the back.
Hope this helps

Re: Hood baffles Help? Here's a pic of mine from under the hood. Removed Baffles I still had the inside baffles in when I took this pic as you can see. Just drill out the rivots and give the front ones a little wiggle to loosen the glue as BAD02 said. Add an inch of door foam around the opening inside the hood as you can see in the pic and your done. I have driven in light rain numerous times and never has the filter got wet but I have heard of some that have??? I made a set of clear plexi plates that fit in under the honey comg inserts just in case.
