Default My Ghetto A** Ram Air

well yesterday i was bored and i found some dryer hose and i had an idea !! i decided to make myself a ram air ... check it out ... sorry the truck is very dirty it rained the day before ...
















i know it looks like **** but after i installed it i felt a diffrence ... as soon as i put my foot in the gas its like better throttle response and i feel a LITTLE BIT more power maybe 2-3hp ???
i did have to cut a piece of plastic to make the hose go through ...
i might rip it out and go with PCV pipe ...
i drove about 30 miles and i opened the hood and felt the filter and it was COLD so it must be helping some how ..

haha dude that is funny. The many uses of flex. I just pulled back the rubber splash guard on the side of the headlight and its pretty much a straight shot of air to your filter. You can see your filter from outside the grill.

Oh and beyond static...there can only be one red CC nnbs in denham lol

reason I asked is because the company I work with manufactures that aluminum flex ducting... pretty cool to see others using it for stuff like this.
