Ram air scoop Pics
After having a CAI and switching to Hybrid, I Ended up with a Hole in my fender so I decided to make an air scoop to make use of that hole and to draw some extra air so I went out and bought a 6"- 3" cone made for air duct for buildings and also picked up 3 feet of 3" Kevlar wraped flex tubing. It seems to work good from testing it with a fan. here are some pics.

hiroshi actually built a mini-compression chamber for his CAI filter that he had down in the fender wall. he basically created an air tunnel that awas sealed with a forced entry from the fog hole into a chamber, with the stillen intake down in the fender wall..
he noticed a few more CFM into the intake that he grabbed from his SAFC readings for AFL.

Amazing idea....and looks like it helps too! Just a minor suggestion - maybe you might wanna try to put a mesh grille or something to guard the entryway of the tube (@ the dog neck thingy) just in case a rock or some other object gets in the tubing

yea I was going to do that but I didnt have time to look for anything so I left it out. I was thinking about getting some mesh from a screen door or maybe use the mesh from a kitchen strainer.

Didnt anyone see my post about this a couple months ago? I had an idea like this but people said it was impossible to get pass the headlight and fender area.

Great job thats very industrious. I was thinking of somthing similar to feed a pop charger, that would be a true hybrid intake.
You are too funny!
