I dont have a picture.
But since the Intake goes behind the left headlight.
Anyone ever hear of some one, takeing out the
left headlight, and replacing it with a ram air scoop?
Of course I doubt this would be street legal. But im
sure it would be pretty cool on the track

My dad told me that he had a ram air scoop on a car
once, but it only gave noticable improvment above
80 mph.

I've seen a lot of people pull the fog light for added airflow. All it will really do, at best, is hopefully kind of maybe bring cooler air to the filter area. And that's only on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Im taking about makeing a molding peice out of sheet metal or something, an actual scoop that fits the left headlight area with ducting back to the airfilter and intake tube. The fog light is too far down and wont make a bit of diffrence, (Unless its wednsday or friday)

you know that the intake on the LSJ is all the way down towards the fog light right?

I dont remember it being down that low, maybe it is, but the headlight is bigger would scoop more air one could still modify an intake tube and a scoop that fits the headlight. Your right I guess it is kinda down there closer to the foglight.

The fog light sits in a scoop that points straight at the air filter.

Ram air is pretty pointless on a blower car. If you did as you say, and sealed the compartment so you could actually pressurize the filter at speed, it might be good for a couple hp at highway speeds or higher, but nothing noticable.

Thats pretty much the results my dad noticed when he did something similar to a car he had when he was younger. He said he didnt notice any improvement below 80 mph
