I thought I had read in the past with people not liking the mod after the fact. Why did you cut the whole outside panel out? Wouldn't that let hot engine bay air in as well? Everyone pasically takes some dryer tubing down to the tow hook area, eh?

i havent made a ram air valence yet but plan to at some time. some have used the flexible dryer vent hose, and others have used 4" plastic PVC
i cut the entire side out because it got rid of all of the baffles and scoops and such. its butted right next to inner side of the front fender, so no hot air gets in. and the hole in the bottom faces a space where freeflowing air is. its separated from the hot engine bay by the foam heat shield thing and separated from direct water contact from the tire by the inner fender wheel well

I did exactly what nightrunner did and yes i would do it again....i also modified my intake tube going to the throttle body....i cut all the baffles off of it and then fiberglassed and smoothed the entire thing to create a normal tube.

This is what I did but I installed a 3" sewercap so in rainy weather, I could plug up the Volant ram-air. With that being said, I also smoothed out the inside if the stock air that's up against the fire wall. I made a meyal plate to block off the fenderwell hole. So basically when the ram-air is "open"(3" sewer plug is out), the plate blocks the fenderwell hole. When it rains I plug the hole(3" sewer plug is in) and remove the metal block off plate.
