Yea right. You get all that hot engine compartment air with a CAI no matter how you slice it, plus as much as it rains down here I wouldnt want to suck a puddle.
Plus my ram air sucks more air and sounds wicked when you get close to the "nostrils". Especially when you turn it off

Well I went to home depot today as soon as I got off, and took your advice and bought the Fernco hose. I fitted it up and got it on there.

It took forever to get my Airfoil back in there though. I had to file off like 1/4 on the top and the bottom to make it fit.

I noticed a slight difference in my throttle response and on the high end. Thanks alot. Here are some picture before and after

Old thread I know, but I need a bellow for my new ram air box.
3" is really wide enough to fit on the TB?
