Ram air CAI install

[Peter Serwe]

There was a write up by a guy who did extensive testing,
sometime in the last year, checking for high and low pressure.

He basically figured out that the highest pressure, and most
effective area was in the lower section of the center bumper area..

I'd really like to see what could be done with a little cutting,
or even more realistically, what could be done if you made a little
hood for the air filter, to collect and ram it.  I think if you set the leading
edge of a small scoop a little ahead of the bumper, you might see a dramatic
increase in straight line ram effect, especially if you flare out the cone, or
even
a flared box, for simplicity's sake.  Just scoop as far towards the center of
the car
as possible, and try to make it bolt to the stock headlight mount :P
