Short Ram Air Intake Tract

I recently installed a short ram air intake. I figured it wasn't getting any cold air sitting behind the battery any way i was wondering if any one has made a scoop to feed air to it and if ya had any pics.


Also i'm installing a NX nitrous kit soon and i wanted to know what type of plugs i should run?

Thanks

if you go NX, make sure you go a step or two colder plugs than stock, more info on that can be found in the boosted forum.

You could make a scoop I suppose, but would it be worth the hassel? Why not just get a true CAI? Or just use the stock airbox, as it sucks from the front of the car, and has been proven to have even, if not better power than any other intake ever thrown on our cars.

Personally, I like my massive 6" K&N filter sitting in my engine bay, and love the growl that it makes, but unfortunately, that growl costs a few hp

yea cai are a total waste of money! and u lose horsepower! u want a nice growl!! just get a y pipe and there it is. Once i get my 135 im leavin the stock intake on it and just drop a K&n in it! get hotshot headers and warspeed y pipe, b pipe and magnaflow muffler street series. all of that should bring a nice GROWL that u want.

Keep in mind that the air density not just airflow/pressure creates power. Ramair isn't all that powerful.
