Finished Fresh Air Intake **Pics**

I installed my fresh air intake from ramairbox.com today. Everything went pretty smooth.
What do you guys think?

Thanks for hosting the pics. It was kinda pricy, a little more than $200. Funny you mention the fan, I was looking at it today thinking about going with an electric water pump and electric fan combo.

Won't you have trouble when it's raining? Doesn't rain get into your intake like that?

I don't think that would really be a problem. I doubt the water would be able to get sucked up through that whole tube to get to the filter.

I was looking into the one summit sells.

I really dont know what else is out there. I would want the best one for a street driven car, if there is such a thing.

I made my own cold air intake for around $20 with the help of pittdp.
Check it out it works great.

Beware dips on rainy days ; )

I'd keep the warm air intake device installed just in case, honestly... kids around here like to steal distributor rotors, hell, i can only imagine what they'd do to a ram air intake like that.
