It very well could be. Is it sealed from the inlet tube to the airbox? If
so then it would be a ram air system. 

I was just trying to clarify what it is you had was all. I wasn't out to
call you a lair or anything, just wanted clarity. 

I was under the impression that you had done the popular mod of "swiss
cheezing" or in my case, completely removed everything below the air
filter . (Except for the little nipples that hold the fuel distributor in
place ect.)

I have the stock tube in place and like Ryans mod, I lowered the bottom
90 degree elbow into the airstream and attached an air scoop. Its not a
working ram air setup with the open airbox that I have on it (now) for
the winter months so it only blows air onto the filter. In the summer
months I install a stock airbox and depending on the temps, I have a
moderately opened airbox that I can use also. 

So, anyway. Sounds like you have a true working ramair setup. Notice any
difference with it?
