My rendition of cold air--->>>








The hose is from Ridgid and it's a dust venting hose used for power tools. It is 4" in diameter. Got it at Home Depot. The pickup at the end is a 6"x4" duct reducer.

Jeff you have to logg off fotki then go back into it and copy the url. You must have just downloaded the picture, I can tell because there is a ? in the url

It looks like he did something similar to what I did, this may give you a idea

Thanks Doug....I edited my first post and added a few more pictures. What I like best about this setup is that it is 4" diameter. The hose is very sturdy also. It cost 25 bucks at Home Depot.

Looks good. Probably 1/4 the price i payed for the JL setup and probably works just as good.

Unhappy

Now if I could just figure out some way to throw together some traction bars with a few things from Home Depot.

Here is another picture. A good about this setup is that you can pop a plastic 6" coffee can lid over the end whenever there is rain or other bad weather in a second. This way you won't suck in nasty water or debris...

L in Detroit - I did almost the exact same thing as you. I ran two 2 1/2 ductings from the grill to the airbox. Right now I'm making my own scoops so it looks better. Very effect and I'm happy with it. Not expensive either.

I used my fog lights to run the ram air kit through. The installation is pretty easy and the way I did it I can still install the fog lights again with no problems. The shape of the bumber by the fog light makes an awsome scoop to take in the air. The top end power is amazing and performance is about 2x what I got from the JL ram air kit. If you want blue prints, email me @ lightningfastsvt@cs.com

11secL,

How did you get by the support bracket that would seem to block a lot of the in coming air?
i though about that, but it looked like it would require a dremel.
