    well i cant see how it wouldent give you any power. like your clipping along at like a 100km/h the amount of cold air thats getting rammed in their would have to be benifical..

    Looks neat. Next time you might want to use flexible dryer duct tubing, would be less work with same result. Back in the sixties people used to saw holes in the hoods of their cars for ram intakes. Less risk of sucking in water that way.

    you should get a nice ram air effect with that, do you use a k&n in your air box.? if not I would switch to one or maybe an ITG filter if they make one for your application. another good thing to use besides dryer ducting is SCAT hose used for aircraft ventilation systems, very strong holds its shape better than dryer duct and only costs about 10 bux a foot. Only downside is that it is orange. but the SCEET tubing is the same but black and I beleive it has an extra layer of silicone.
