they just put ram air there to make it sound and look cooler, so that people who don't know, spend their money on it, haha

ram air hoods look so sweet though, i wish i had one

my cf ram air hood dropped my intake temps 10 degrees at any given exterior temp. over the stocker.

i think thats a nice adavantage wheither ur actually getting ram air or not.

Ram air first came out with the pontiac firebirds and gtos in the 60's although it wasnt true ram air, the use of colder air than the 200+ degree air coming through the radiator.. it had a pretty large effect on performance... there is an equation that with every 10 degree drop in intake air you gain 1% more horsepower.
