Default Vortex Ram Install....Help please!

Hi,

I just bought a Vortex Ram Air Cleaner and Power Duct. I don't usually do this kind of stuff working on my car. Is this a set of eaiser instructions on how to do this rather then what comes with it? I'm hoping for something really simplified. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jerry

Just be real careful - the template they supplied (at least to me about three years ago) is off a bit. Eyeball things really well before you do any cutting. It's a great product, but the instructions are lousy.

I had Ted May at Valaya install mine. He's down in Almaden. www.valayaracing.com.

Good luck

I did mine about 3-4 years ago. The template I got was OK from what I remember. I would suggest fitting the system together before you make the cut to make sure it goes together properly. If you cut too high, you will have a problem with the powerduct hitting the hood as you close it. It was pretty easy, just make sure you have a good quality utility knife.
