i was told there is some kind of ratio. for every certain amount of degrees in farenheit that goes through the air duct, there is a tempeture drop which goes into the throttle body. these air ducts are designed and used to conserve energy in domestic use. there are also very flexible. i dont know how skinny you can find them but ive seen them fairly small enough to work with.

I don't know if it's really a "duct" but more like a "vent"... those louvered panels on Taka Kiara that you put on the front inner fender liner/spash guard so air won't get trapped in there or something...
...man maybe I should look at it again before typing LOL

Kind of confused with the whole vents as a ram air. if anything i would use air duct as a cold air extension by removing the stock air box and ducting down from the mafs.

The duct technique is also pretty good too... it's a low-buck mod that anyone can do
