Dragon ram air intake mounting question/ suggestions
i purchased the Ram air kit accessory from http://www.dragonintakes.com. Info can be found there or at http://www.weapon-r.com. I plan on attaching it to my hybrid intake setup which i will be upgrading to a CAI hybrid setup and was wondering what would be the best place to mount the end of the tubing? Since it has a rain guard i believe water wont be an issue. If not i can always buy a bypass valve to be safe. Also what is the diameter of a typical hybrid intake so i can purcahse the right by pass valve? I would like to measure once and cut once so i am looking for suggestions so i dont butcher the engine bay and make it look like swiss cheese via trial and error. Thanks.

my concern is not the filter but the ram air kit accessory. It has this tubing which i want to use to get even colder air than that available from our cold air intakes now. My question is i would like to mount it perhaps where the stock fog lights would go on an SE. I have a gxe with no fog lights obviously. Thing is is it feasible and or where should i drill the hole in order to achieve this idea.

The weapon-r ram air performed well at least in the one dyno test i seen
http://tprmag.com/issue/1/sr-results.shtml
thats why i was going to give it a try.
Jeff92se how did you mount those relays that were in the way in your intake setup? i plan on doing the piping simillar to yours except extending it farther down to the foglight with the tubing that will be connected to the filter. About how much clearance do you have with the headlights? i have the bmw projector headlights so i think the filter wouldn't be able to be placed where you have yours setup. although im not really sure from the pictures i saw of your setup.

All Results are +/- .5hp and +/- .10 seconds
Do not compare these results to the Cold Air Intake Results

ya know what....
if you take off the air filter i'm sure you'll get the similar gains...if not better.
it's known that foam does not filter well...but it's good for flow.

The relay mount was a custom thing. Just plate with holes and 2 sec to weld it to the battery tie down rod. I probably could have made you a CAI for your VG for cheaper than what you are doing but good luck with it. I sold my last VE CAI and probably won't make any more. 3-gen market is dismal and it seems my pics only show people how to copy vs sell.
You should be able to fit the pipe behind the light with no cutting of the headlight bracket. But you WILL have to cut some of the bracket that held the stock airbox horn. You also have to cut some of the braket below the horn so the pipe will fit under the headlight bracket.
