[REn0]

Ok so im thinkin of getting a short ram intake, now what I was thinking was what about a hood scoop to go along with it, what might be the + and - of this setup?

You should just make a clod air intake yourself. i made mine out of a u bend from jc whitney. The pipe cost me 25 bucks, then i bought some rubber pipe connectors from home depot, and a filter. the whole thing probably cost me 45 bucks

Go with the CAI you will be much happier
I know I was when I switched over from short ram

Thank you everyone for your input, im just really stumped on the whole water thing, and it being difficult, as said, im not familiar with engines or anything as such, so im looking for something pretty simple is all.

[REn0]

Damn the shipping is what kills it, the one with the by pass on it is only 30$ and then shipping is 150$ geez

the cai is better but the short ram is a lot easier to install and does give you a decent boost.. though if you get a short ram you'll just end up wanting a cai anyways hehe

Minus: Potential of sucking in small animals or leaves, rain could potentially be ingested and cause parts to oxidize, etc etc.

i could see that conversation..

"did you find out whats wrong with your car?"

"yea..i had a half gallon of water, a half a birch tree and a racoon shoehorned into my intake manifold"

ok I just read this and im feeling quite a bit better about the water situation, so now all there is, is a question of how difficult an install would be for myself, I searched but can't find a very good answer to this, so if someone has a how-to or some thoughts it would be appreciated.

[frantik]

it's not terribly hard but you need a dremel or similar rotary cutting tool to widen the intake hole and and extra pair of hands for helping remove and reattatch the bumper would be good too

You don't need to remove the bumper! Just turn the wheels all the way to the right and take down the protective cover.

apperantely(sp) to them its easier to take off the bumper

[lostforawhile]

well I have a short ram/hood scoop/cowl induction and haven't had any problems with it. no dead animals,no water injested etc. there are pictures on my site also try to search-hood scoop baffling in progress I think that brings it up here it is https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthrea...ng+in+progress the tube on the front of the air cleaner is closed off right now,I have a hot air door that mounts on he exaust manifold that connects to that for winter

yeah why do you guys remove the bumper?

It was easier IMO instead of removing the inner liner

its easyer to work with out it cuz you are closer to the car and your knees dont hit the bumper while you are trying to mock it up.....plus Picopop helped...so it was easy.....

[frantik]

removing the stock intake resonator box in the fender seems like it would be a bitch with the bumper on. it was a pain in the ass just pulling my filter off

[snoopyloopy]

i remove the bumper cover because it's easy. it takes a little while to get to all the screws/bolts, but it's not a hard task. and my bumper cover is damaged, damnit, and i can still get it on and off within 5-10 minutes.

[frantik]

the bumper cover is easy, it's getting to whats inside thats a pain in the ass. but i guess whatever works eh?

oh, i never take off the whole bumper. (except once when i was repairing it from front-end damage.) just the cover. and the air box wasn't THAT bad.

you know it's only 6 bolt to remove the bumper 2 behind each turn signal lens and 2 under the car, easier then unscrewing the phillip head screws on the cover.
