Default custom ram air.

anyone made there own ram air units. it doesnt look like it would be hard and i think the man who charges 500 dollers for a duct and a couple bolts should be stuck down by lightning.

I did the "cut a hole in the bumper behind the license plate' cold-air system. Works great.

I know someone that takes air from the radiator duct. All he did was buy a filter that would fit between the stock air cleaner and the radiator shroud, cut a hole in each, done!

For the cold air intake, there's already a hole in the 95 bumper, you just need to cut the cover back to expose it, and drill two 2in holes in the plastic bumper frame.

For the radiator shroud method, just find a rectagular filter that fits between the filter and the shroud, and cut the shroud and the air cleaner.
