haha
no. not unless you supercharge it.
its not worth the money to make your car look wack.
invest in real things like suspension or brakes

 

Very bad idea.

 

I am gona say no....sad but true story there was a company who made a "shaker" ram air intake for saturns. I came across one and even though I already had an aem cold air intake i got it thinking it might get me alittle more power. In the end I put the aem back on and I didnt look as silly.

 

I personally will never put nothing coming out of my hood, but who knows if a ram air box getting air routed from the front will work...

 

If you wanted to do a cowl induction hood which takes air from right beneath the windshield, that's fine. Nevermind the looks. That's all opinion based. That's what Speedsource does with their RX-8 race cars. However taking air from directly in the middle of the hood isn't as good of an idea. Either take the air frmo the extreme front of the car or the base of the windshield. Those are the high pressure zones. Everywhere else is lower and higher pressure is more air.

 

If you can make a REAL COmpletely functional RAM AIR.

Then YOu should do it. SOme trans ams have claimed Positive pressures At HIGH speeds.

AND PSI = POWER
