1.) My time=money
2.) That is a waste of time in any means unless done correctly......
3.) 0 HP gain even when you strap the car to the dyno.........
4.) Nascars use 3" diameter pipe, with a scoop and travel at speeds higher than 200MPH
5.) Your point is???????????

Well guess what mr. poopy pants. I used 3" diameter black plastic piping. I’m sorry if I stole your money er I mean time, but you spent your money/time posting. I don’t care if it doesn’t give me 100 fucking hp or 0. I just know it helps get air better when i go down the interstate or what have you.

If you just have a pipe, fine that is not of my concern and is your perogotive. Like Bobby Brown "do what you want to do". But for people to respond to something that has 0 proven results in HP of any nature is just plain ignorant and counter productive. Shure it may spawn a few ideas, but cmon' for this thread to ramble so long with the same non sence just baffles me.
If you had engineered correctly a scoop compresses air making it colder, a pipe by itself is not compressing, compacting air in any manner, but can infact take the velocity and rate of speed in which you are traveling. Especially if the velocity/speed of your vehicle legally won't hit over 80MPH on the freeway how will you see any significant results.
Truth is you wont..........
Sorry that I POOD, shiat the truth all over this thread............

sorry jake, but i agree with big v on this one. While i have my bumper off, im going to have one of thw welders at work make a scoop to fit tight where the driving lamps would be on the canadian model. I was thinking that making it in a triangular prism shape, with the pipe coming directly into the air box. Any ideas on materials?

Well, all i have to say is post your ram-air style duct. lol This is a picture of mine, and it looks to me as if it does at least a little something.:
So you going to tell me this doesnt work either?:
Lets not argue any more, kay.

I use cross drilled rotors, now that is a proven result....
I'm not going to argue just wanted to bring some relative thought........

Ok, but im not bragging that im gaining a load of hp or anything by having it. Im just saying its got to do something at least a little bit better than it was before. I mean wouldnt you agree. Maybe no hp, but maybe keeps the engine just that little bit more cooler? I mean it couldnt hurt it.
