Ram Air Setup

pyro · 05-01-2005, 07:31 PM

I am looking for a ram air setup for my 99 se, give me a price and i will (most likely) take it.

tj19855 · 05-01-2005, 10:33 PM

I just took my stock ram air off the car, but I donno bout the prize u tell me

pyro · 05-02-2005, 11:17 AM

i saw one on ebay go for $70 with shipping but it looked brand new.

Gold99HO · 05-02-2005, 11:49 AM

doesnt matter how old it is... just clean it up and it will look like new... if i where you why its out i would take the baffles out that airbox and sand it down to make it smooth if your looking for performace.

Just some basic info that a quick search could yeild you, Ram Air isn't worth any gains at all, a cold air setup would be much more effective.

pyro · 05-02-2005, 01:31 PM

i was more looking to buy one for looks, but owhile on the topic, if i were to buy a cai, would the ramair still be fuinctional or when i take the stock air filter box off does it make it pointless to have one still?

I think I have all the pieces to my ram air setup including the air box and all piping. I wil double check this week though...

Yea, it works, but its not any better than the setup on the SE. There is no "gain" from it.

Won't be functional. You have a better path for air and a cool place to draw it from with a CAI. Everybody has a different opinion, and on a stock car, its not going to matter much anyways. Consider this though, if there are so many people with ram air pieces to sell, what are they using instead, and why? Catchy my drift?

tj19855 · 05-02-2005, 04:14 PM

^^ yep its pointless it would be a waste of money get a cold air intake instead

pyro · 05-02-2005, 05:29 PM

how much if any hp does it add? ramair and cai

Hodge · 05-02-2005, 05:47 PM

the ram air is amazing, gave me like 25 horse to the wheels. it almost felt like a turbo when you got up into the 7000 RPMs. the cold air, i dono it's ok i tried it on my car once too, it only added like 5-10 horse and didn't even work when i was in the 7000 RPM range.. it was weird.

atc3434 · 05-02-2005, 05:53 PM

Ram Air zero, cold air very little.. Cold air does have the benifit of cold air. Cooler air promotes more stable combustion, so you're less likely to see knock retard. Colder air also carries more oxygen than hot air, so you can add more fuel to it. So, you're going to keep the air coming in at a better temp, and it does outflows the stock setup in the higher RPMs, but not too much.

Hodge · 05-02-2005, 05:55 PM

read it over one more time and laugh for me, that was the intention of that paragraph

not even that...the GT gets the supposed 5 HP from the bigger exhaust

tj19855 · 05-02-2005, 06:35 PM

haha! stock ram air is B.S. enough said

pyro · 05-02-2005, 06:58 PM

they both get air from the front of the car, just because the cais piping is bigger i guess and the filter is bigger.
