You mean the scoop part?.....it's REAL ugly, why do that?

all those holes could be made into a reall nice looking large intake area at the lolwer part of that non functional grill. think about it.

Hmmm...interesting. I prefer the non-functional grill appearance

 

thanks for the pic---- something to think about. maybe even variations of that

when i had the stock bumper and the revi + duct, I don't recall it being blocked. So I don't see the point in this.

 

nice! i'm all about the function myself...
team,
you've placed a grilleguy center grille over that since then haven't you? i have grilleguy's grille on also and will be installing the rb duct this weekend. did you have any problems mounting the grille w/out the bottom half of the oem grille?

 

yeeesh


it looks like it has a bottom row of teeth

 

Here's mine

 

Dam I'll have to get a close up shot so you can see what the CAI looks like.

 

I think it looks cool. Different.

I think I'd worry about sucking up small animals and birds. Maybe even a small child.
I think if it was a single opening under a well cut grille it would look alright. It would have the look of a large intake scoop.

 

Razz: I might havea better picture for you from the Dyno Day. Gimme till tonight to check my laptop

 

I'm guessing that since the REVi RAD was never designed with the idea that it would be visible, that's why it looks like such *** from the front.

I'm all for getting the most performance out of a part, but one large port would be better then 6 "teeth" it has now.. at least visually for me.

 

Wow, never realized that it was that big until i just saw Team's picture. I always thought that whole opening was about 7-8 inches wide.

 

Here we go.

I wish I knew how to post the picture here so you don't have to click.

Look what's comming to get you!

She's hungry and showing her teeth.

 

Here ya go,

 

I'm picking up the Ram air tomorrow. I am looking into how I can make the single intake, and get rid of the "teeth" and make a single smooth intake. And incorperate it into the grille in a smooth transition.

 

now you are thinking---keep going on with this.
I just cut the front rotor symbol out of the front of mine( i have the basic car--no appearance grp etc)--. It cleaned up the front a little more than I expected and according to my gauges my car is running approx 5 degrees cooler in 35-45 mph traffic. Think that symbol up there was blocking more air flow somehow than you would think----OR maybe its my imagination. I do like the look however.

Well I got the RB Ram air. Looks pretty simple to cut and mold it to make it smooth at the mouth. I am still wondering about the "Notch" on the left side. I could eliminate that. But is there a reason for that behind my bumper cover? Some fitment issue? I haven't had the bumper cover off yet.
For those that have this system, how snug is it to the grille opening? Does it actually touch the grille? I would cut out the lower portion of the grille to allow it come forward into the opening a bit more. I am wondering if it would have to be elongated to reach past the grille and fit up into the opening. Coming up to the leading edge of the grille. I like the idea of it in the opening flush with the grille face. I'll start this little project tomorrow.
