ram air?

I am having some trouble understanding this one. how is mounting a sideways silencer going to make a ram air?
the best route would be to go into the fender with a cone filter. the airdam would be way too low.

#1, the thing in front of the airbox is NOT THE AIR SILENCER. The big football looking thing in the middle of the intake between the air box and the throttle body is the silencer.

#2, I did ram air once that I built myself but I used 3" PVC pipe, with a 4"-3" elbow peeking about half under the bumper as a scoop. It worked pretty well, I did notice the car was a bit slower after I took it off, but it got the filter excessively dirty and was a pain to rig up. I don't know what you're talking about doing with the little scoop from the front of the airbox, but I doubt it's near big enough to take in the kind of air you'd need.

drill a hole in your hood, then run the cone straight through the hood. best ram air you can get. LOL.
