I'll get some more pics of my 06 setup posted for you. Most guys may steer you away from it since its a short ram and only sucking in hot air but i will hopefully be working on a homemade heat shield soon

Yeah I watched a video of a guy that had a ram air intake installed on 2 different cars. He made a custom heat shield with some cheap steel and foil tape.
I wouldn't mind seeing pictures. I'll probably end up doing something easy but I'm always willing to learn more and see more.
Sorry, didn't notice it was a 7th gen. But see what 01GTP did, that'll be more than enough.Quote:

He can not put the filter directly on the TB. His mas air flow sensor is separate from his throttle body. It would go TB then Maf then filter like I have minus the chunk of wizair tubing.Quote:

I realize that, TB intake is the term that means intake filter as close to throttle body as physically possible.Quote:

Not every one understands that tho. Not hard to add one extra letter MAF instead of TB.Quote:

why is that only for intercooled? and is the maf even used in conjunction?Quote:

i added the rubber coupler at the TB so the MAF would not get as hot from the TB. the MAF has to be inline with the filter and tb. it can not just be zip tied up in the engine bay.
I'll get the picture up here in a little while, you want me to put it on here or message it to you?Quote:

I have an external MAF also and this is how mine sits.

A little off topic but that red on black looks pretty badass...
So.. The filter doesn't have to be pointed to where you take off the stock filter box? Or does it
No...see that hole in your fender on the right when you remove the stock air box? That's basically where you want it to sit...or close to it.Quote:
