Thoughts of a cheap RAI intake....
Ok here is what I'm thinking..........
1) Cut a hole on your hood, large enough for your intake arm and filter to expose itself outside of your hood.....
2) bend your intake arm to expose itself through the hood and the entire filter should be pertruding out of the hood.....
It shouldn't cost any money if you think about it.... What ya think????
I'm bored... lol

I think our fake hoodscoop is even less aerodynamic then anything else on our new edges.

This concept is good, no differnece than the imports with the vented scoops for turbos, but I'd suggest that you find a way of covering it. First rain or anything wet, you won't be happy. Another thing, you'd only notice minor additional gains at high speed and in the mid rpm ranges.

What about a funnel directing air into the filter cone......... ($15.00)
And to top it off..... Add a Tornado! ($40.00) from any autozone!
