Get any non fenderwell kit and remove your passenger side headlight.

No but seriously why do you want ram air? It really doesn't do much performance wise. I haven't seen any kits that aren't ridiculously priced btw.

That kit also really pics up a lot of road dirt and other crap. I think I heard of a story that a 5.0 owner who had it sucked up a bird or a butterfly. Something big lol.

That might have originated from me..A looong time ago, I picked up some kinda bird through my system..It was at night so I didnt realize it at the time. I kept noticing a power lag, like my engine was choking..Well, I got to diggin around in there, and found some bird feet, and a bunch of feathers in my air filter..I got rid of it shortly after that.

Alls I found were the feet, and some feathers. Possibly road kill? Either way, I didnt enjoy cleaning it out.

CarCraft is possibly coming out with a hood scoop conversion that uses the stock hoodscoop as an air inlet. If properly made, you can effectively seperate that water and crap from the air flow too.

And it wouldn't be all that expensive probably, considering its a simplification of their older kit which was around $400. They are removing the vacume system and flaps, which, I hope is going to be a big cost drop (they determined it really didn't do anything)

Ram Air probably is'nt any more useful than the shaker system on the Mach's. On the Mach's you only get a true ram air effect once your speed is above 80mph.
