I could be wrong but I thought some said they had trouble with their ram air setup and they were getting fault codes for the MAF? once again I could be wrong,I thought I read that on here... but I go to college for cars... and we do alot of talking... , but hey I would do a little search and find out. I'll search real quick too. -Jeff- 1998 Black SVT Morette Twin headlight conversion Street flight turbo kit collecting dust! Rebuilding my 3.0L check it out

Thats why its just better to locate the intake lower or as far away from heat. 1999 Contour SE Duratec ATX My feet and the Stra�?Ÿenbahn http://www.tempo-topaz-performance.com/topazsho/ the coolest Topaz ever!

It is not a "RAM AIR" but it does fill the area with cooler air while driving. 2003 Toyota Matrix 1972 Pontiac Ventura II "Sprint" 1998 SVT !SOLD!

I did notice right away that on longer trips that I got better gas milage over all (nothing to get too excited about). Even a true ram air system is not functional until over 50mph, and it is nothing you can feel. 2003 Toyota Matrix 1972 Pontiac Ventura II "Sprint" 1998 SVT !SOLD!
