Re: home made ram air

["Jason" <jason87vw@nac.net>]

I was recently thinking of doing something like this, I asked my buddy who
owns an A/P store, We found some nice (plastic) hosing that would fit
perfectly. He asked me "so how are you going to use this ?" I said I was
going "to attach one end on the airbox, and run the other end out underneath
the bumper, this way the faster I go, the more air that gets pushed into the
air box. Sounds good huh ?" Then he said, "welll your right, more air would
be pushed up into the airbox, more air, dirt, debris, snow, and rain...How
long do you plan on keeping the car ???" Smart ass...

So I have a question ontop of the origional question, where should you run
the other end of the hose ? --AND-- What should you use to filter out
unwanted substances ?
