I got to thinking that my setup with my tube just wasn't right. So I now have my plastic drain hose coupler outside the fog light hole bezel. It actually sticks out far enough to breathe better, I'm pretty sure. I don't have any numbers to compare, but my butt dyno says the motor likes it that way. And I think it even looks better now.

Some of the newer members may not have seen what I did with my 4 inch ram tube. So here's some pics.


Cheap plastic drain hose coupler from Lowe's


Cheap 4 inch semi-rigid aluminum dryer vent tube


Air horn modified to fit a 4 inch aluminum adjustable 90 degree elbow

Behind the bumper. This is with the plastic coupler behind the bezel


Tube feeding directly into the air filter box. The tape is a little messed up in that pic, but it looks better now.

Our local O'Riely auto parts has a velocity stack that fits the 3.5 and 4 inch pipe I wonder if that would fit? It would give a nice finishing touch to that.

BTW thats a nice setup.

a company needs to make a foglight scoop that will work with the factory airbox bottom, i would buy it in a heartbeat

Sounds like we need another GTG at Beech Bend

Great job, hows it holding up?

Thanks. I've had this tube in place for months and have never had a problem with it.

I'll check at the local O'Reilly's for that velocity stack. Thanks.

I'm game. But not until I get my 4.56 gears, DTT, and traction bars installed. I already got the Magnaflow y-pipe installed.

And they need a bezel with the scoop built in that snaps into the fog light hole. One for each side.

Necessity is a mother alright.

My next experiment is adding a larger funnel to the existing black plastic coupler. I inserted the coupler onto a different landscaping coupler that steps down from 7 inches to 5 inches. I did a little trimming to make the leading edge of it better. The smaller coupler steps down from 5 inches to 4 inches for the 4 inch tube. This setup will cause the funnel to stick out even further where the good air is. I don't know if it will look too funky for the street or not. It may be for the drag strip only. But I can swap funnels very easily. That's one of the beauties of this...easily changeable and easily removable.

Byrd...is that hooked up to the factory intake box I take it? Does that make it Ram air technically? I guess it would huh?
