Default Ram Air Questions

Is it okay to get the BG Ram Air and the Fast Toys Ram Air? Does the Fast Toys Ram Air block cool air from getting to the radiator? Sorry...I'm new and clueless.

Both block some cooling air to the radiator. Not enough to notice. The biggest problem with the induction systems that draw from underneath the car is the chance of hydrolocking your motor. If you hit a very large puddle at speed that water will be stuffed into your cylinders and may end up causing some very serious damage. If you don't drive your car in the rain though, then don't worry about it.

The bg ram air does not block any air from the radiator what so ever.All you need is a lid and the bg ram air.Anything else will be useless.Its a very well made kit by the way.

its also possible for your intake air temps to go up since pulling air from the condensor area and hot air going straight up into your intake, also blocking airflow to the radiator possibly causing overheating.

if u got the nostrils, USE 'EM!
