Default Ram Air ? guys...need some help please

I have yet to do any kind of induction system mod to my C5, (K&N,or other brand). I'm still "stock". I was fortunate enough to receive a rather unique ram air system from one of our other members, slightly used, but, still very useable. Thanks Stu!!!. The system is similiar to the BPP Vortex design, K&N filter in a box mounted to the radiator front shroud. I'ld have to cut the shroud to make this work....not a problem. The trouble is, it's a "bottom feeder" system (read, hydro-lock in the future).I'ld like to make it a "front feeder" if possible, similiar to the Vararam system. I need to connect two 3 or 4 inch ducts to the filter box (no problem). But, the other end needs to be connected to the front "inlet scoops" where the fog lights are. Does anybody make a fog light "surround" that a duct can be hooked to? Thanks guys for your help.......... Jim

From the vette shop, its just a stock piece with a hole cut out and a screen put in, im sure you could do the same yourself, good luck with your project and let us know how it goes for you!

The piece from the Vetteshop just might work. If you can find a way to connect the duct to the screen, I would suppose it would do the job.
