Air Intake Trade??

Anyone have a good condition short ram intake they would trade for an AEM cold Air? I'm gettin a carbon SS hood in June and would like to utilize that hood scoop. Thanks

I have the Focus Central short ram... its very similar to volant... it also has an SVT snorkel so you could use it with a scoopless hood still... I'm not going to be needing it with turbo, and I won't need the AEM, maybe we can make a deal still

what color is you're intake? I might be interested

saintg2005 · Mon Feb 13, 2006 11:56 am

Powdercoated. Let me know if you are interested cause then I'll deal with him and get that short ram.

are you going to be at the meet. If you are, you could check out my short ram intake and we could switch them out in the lot. Also what type of filter do you have, and would you switch it out with you're intake?

saintg2005 · Wed Feb 15, 2006 12:53 pm

Yea. i would switch it out cause it is pretty dirty. It's an APC I think. I dunno it was that or a foam one from my work. We should def do that tho. I wanna be all set up for June!!!!

Should I bring a couple of tool or do you want to? And just to make sure, what brand is it and does it have a the MAF input. Just have to make sure cause I don't wanna be punk'd

saintg2005 · Wed Feb 15, 2006 12:55 pm

Ok I was stupid about asking for the brand and MAF. Yea let hook it up Sat.

sure ya don't want the stubby intake?

it'll sit maybe 7 inches from the throttle body

yeah, that would be cool if you could bring some tools to put youres onto my car. to install mine only takes a flat screw driver and an allen wrench. My filter is k and n and i have the recharger kit that I can give you also (if I can find it). The only bad thing about the filter is that I left a bag over it after I washed the engine and then started the engine

so it's crumpled alittle bit. I've had it on ever sence and it's still working perfectly.( the filter has so much surface area that it would take a lot to harm it's performance.) just thought you should know about the filter. uh yeah... also it's going to be f*ckin' freezing at the meet, so maybe we should take that into consideration also. It's no probley to me, but i'm just saying.

How'd it work out for you? I can feel a little hesitation in lower rpm but it kicks ass in high. I capped off the breather too so that might have something to do with it but when I did, it really has a nice kick during thee shift.

i like the cold air, I know what you're saying about the pull at Higher RPMs, I can really feal the cold air working at lower RPMs. How do you like the sound on the ram air? I'm trying to get used to the sound the CAI make at about 6 1/2RPMs. I'm still trying to find a bushing for the braket on the upper half of the intake. This will do nicely untill I can buy my super charger

. Let my know how that turns out with you're new hood when you get it installed.

saintg2005 · Wed Feb 22, 2006 9:29 pm

yea its a lot louder than the cold air which surprised me. Also I get a nice little suction of air at shift. I can almost squack my tires into 2nd with an auto!
