Oh yeah, and no ram air.
You're kidding right Dave?
Cold air intakes from the side fender are quite common.
Hummers,
Volvos
Land Rovers.
My lower fender box intake has no ram effect unless pressure from the compression of the street creates it. I do not think it does. In fact the air flow likely lowers AP. Funny, that's an issue now, but the opposite, Ram Air, is a humorus myth to you.
The filter is hard to access in there(have to remove the wheel) and if the inspection door falls off, I cannot drive in the rain. A stream of water comes right off the wheel into the K&N like a fire hose.
Pulling cold air from the right grill for the engine intake CAI. Release warm engine air out the left side
On a hot steamy day,the air at two feet off the pavement is likely fresher than what I'm getting 8" off the hot blacktop.
Of what configuration were you thinking?
