Yeah, I think I would have done something similar if I had the stuff laying around, but I wanted the big 4" tube. The scoop, however, took quite a bit of time to fabricate by hand.

 

where did you buy the hose from, I am in the process of doing my own custom ram air and i cant find any hose i like.

 

we get all our hose from a race product store up in NC called BSR. Ill find a link to there store for you.

 

alright that will work out good because i live in NC

 

I'm a carpenter. It's the stuff I used to build the dust collection system in my shop. You'd probably have to go to a woodworking supply store. The place I got it at originally was Woodworker's Warehouse, but they've since gone out of business.

 

got any good suggestions to how i will mount the hose to an air aid intake? I would like go get like a 3 inch tube with a plate on the top and just cut a hole in my air aid and bolt it up. any suggestions will be help full.

BSR is located in charlote and in mooresville. What i did was i used a 3 inch duct that we use on the nose of my cars to mount to the air box. THen i got a naca duct with a 45 degree in it to mount on the bottom of the truck. IF you go to BSR tell them what you are doing and they will fix you up. THey are some great people.

 

If you're lookin for something cheap and easy, go to Home Depot of Lowe's, and buy a 3" plumbing fitting w/ a flange. Cut a 3" hole in your box, and slide the fitting down from inside the box. Use plastic epoxy to hold it there, and use a stainless band clamp to hold the tube to the fitting.

 

AMP, Would you make any more of those scoops? Larry

 

I thought about it, but I'd have to make quite a few at the same time to be able to sell them for a decent price. It's not like it adds a lot of horsepower, so no one would want to spend a ton on it. I still have the mold, and the materials were cheap, but on the first one, I had about 20 hrs. min into it. (No good for mass producing, but I can't stay still, so it was good therapy!)

thanks for the info. I have a buddie that goes to school in mooresville and i will have to give him a call

 

Amp. Would you please e-mail me your phone# as I would like to call you about your scoop. Thanks, Larry e-mail larrywp@pacbell.net

 

e-mailed my #. Let me know if for some reason you didn't get it.

or email at mpaz@workingorder.net

 

I did something similar but used the fog light hole as a scoop. I only used it at the track though since it looks weird without the fog light there, and I wouldn't want to drive it like that in the rain. I also had problems finding a good hose and ended up going with 3" dryer duct. It is rigid and flexible but tears to easy. My setup wasn't nearly as clean though, as duct tape played a key role in my fabrication.

 

AWESOME AWESOME WORK!
