A cold air box? Or modifying to have a Ram air intake that hangs down by the bumper? I'm gunna get a filter tomorrow. wanting to know what to do

 

For street driving everday, I wouls go with a Cold air Box. For a track only car Ram Air(If the rules Allowed)
I have never seen a HP comparison of the two on the same car . I am going cold air, to prevent ingesting something driving down the street. John

 

Well you wouldn't pick one over the other, you'd aim for both. A pod filter is pretty useless without a cold air feed and a heat sheild, because the power gain from the extra flow is about the same as the power loss from breathing hot engine bay air.

 

That under the bumper **** is great and all....til you drive in the rain.

 

Riiight, good thinkin boosted. Hmmm, but with a cold air box...how would i ram the air in???

 

You could either duct air from the bumper opening, or some guys cut into the brake duct.

 

hmm, maybe i will just place it in the normal spot, with a ram air from the bumper! GOOD IDEA

 

I cant remember off the top of my head but there is a company who makes a valve that goes in your intake behind the filter, supposedly it drains the water off if you ingest any. Ill try to find a link to it.

 

Considering how low the bumper is, I think you’d knock it off well before you got a chance to drive in the rain! The radiator intake is a much better place.

 

Got cooling?

 

I dont think we were actually talking about sticking it out the front of the car! Anywhere under the front of the car like that will get wet. I had a friend who put theirs up behind the front bumper...SOAKED!

 

We’re only talking about a 3” duct here. That’s hardly going to affect cooling.

 

yeah.. I'll make alittle duct shooting air into the ram air of the filter in the engine bay. And make a cold air box
