I know full well the benefits of ram air. I trapped almost 115mph and only dyno'd 334rwhp with my
home made ram air intakes. I made these about six years ago when I couldn't afford to buy a
plastic FTRA setup.
$36 at the junk yard for scrap 316 SS sheetmetal.
I made mine to follow the front contour of the opening, spacing them off of the radiator as to
not inhibit air flow.

We have been absorbing material costs for years and trying not to raise the price of the FTRA. Still we have people that think they cost too much and will build there own. Our kits are made of T304 stainless steel which costs more than aluminum as well!
