Ram Air

Pic9148 · 03-01-2012, 07:33 AM

Has anyone tried the ram air, by removing the fang plates(pros -cons)

Ram air for what? You can remove the fang plates but then you need to direct the air somewhere for it to do anything.

There is a mod for that on this forum.

Its gotta make some difference if done right. I think the intakes would have to be insulated from the engine heat to tho. I think itll work only because it would lower intake temps but i can see it being too signifgant as in power wise. i COULD BE WRONG THO

this has been brought up before. i think someone was testing the gen 3 stillen with and without a front bumper. they had fans blowing on the filters in one test. the outcome wasnt a huge increase in power. actually i think there were issues with turbulence.

our factory intake system isnt that bad to begin with.

It's very efficient.

How about a front splinter made from garden liner?

Didn't think ram air was good enough for my Mustang, definitely won't do it to my Z. Save your $ for some real intakes. The cost for MAF tubes and drop ins will probably be marginally more than a ram air diy.
