Ram Air CAI

Just saw this on Ebay.

Has any one seen these, or have any experience with it? Looks interesting, but hard to say if it would do any good.

Do you have the hood to go with it? Some of the hoods have their outlet in different spots depending on the intake setup that it's working with. Some exit on the side for CAI's instead of center.

This design looks like it is compatible.

My apologies, when you asked about ram air I assumed you doing the hood too. My mistake.

Yeah I have seen several companies with dual setups like that but have not seen any dyno or flow information that didn't come from the company. Another member with more knowledge might have some insight for you or maybe one of the tuner guys can shed some light for you they usually have a large list of data for different intakes.

Part#: 24005


*
Dual Scoop Functional Ram Air Hood
*
Fully Integrated Ram Air Channel internal to hood - no extra bolt on channels to buy
*
Fully Functional - interfaces to open air path or optional cold air intake. *( use K&N E-0945 or equiv. for air filter)
*
Available with optional heat extractors vents for cooler engine and engine compartment temperatures.
*
Uses stock mounting hardware - no need for new brackets or special struts.
*
Comes in a white gel coat finish ready for paint and prep

Many companies incorrectly claim to offer Functional Ram Air Systems when they are really only offering an air inlet to the engine compartment. True “Ram Air” hoods require a sealed path from above the hood into the air intake on your engine. While a simple air inlet does offer some engine compartment cooling it does not offer the same performance increases that a Ram Air system offers.

A true functional ram air hood improves the performance of your ride in the same way a supercharger or turbocharger boosts the air inlet pressure mechanically. Functional Ram Air uses the forward motion of your vehicle to provide the same boost. Additionally, you’ll experience lower air inlet temperatures, unobstructed air flow into your engine air intake at all speeds, and even lower engine compartment temperatures if heat extractors are incorporated into the hood. This high flow rate of low temperature air at the intake, of course, means increased horsepower and reduced fuel consumption. A lower engine compartment temperature means lower engine temperature and less stress on engine components which ultimately results in longer engine life. Of course, the exact make-up of your vehicle will determine the extent of these benefits but a simple restyling hood or glue on scoop has ZERO possibility of providing any of these benefits.
