Hardcore wrote:ram air thingy is where you take the piping straight to a hole in your front bumper. soo.. as you pick up speed. the air is forced into the BMC filter., and straight into the intake...
front bumper..---(piping)------[bmc air filter]-----(more piping)---[air intake]
therefore..its not lsucking like a K+N as air is straight into it..
may need a re-map on your car aswell to get the max potential lol.
Arite yeh i know what you mean, i just wasnt familiar with the term. I would do that but it gets a bit messy with the piping that long. I'm just going to stick to using the technique presented in this DIY guide!

Nope, not at all. You will use more tho i bet, cos you pump the pedal more to get that sound

If anything, it dampened the sound on mine as ive got 1.7m of piping on mine so its in the best possible place. My exhaust adds the sound back though!!

Better air to fuel mixture means better combustion and therefore more efficient operation
