Has anyone gone to a ram air system? It would seem to open up alot of space in the engine compartment. What has your experience been? Is it worth the investment?

 Turbo engines benefit even more from the cone filter. These engines crave massive doses of cfm airflow when spooling up boost. The technically managed engines cool the compacted/heated boost air with efficient intercoolers...bringing denser air to the cylinders. Case in point: the new BMW 335i twin turbo inline 6, makes good power right from the dealer . Our short-ram style cone filter makes +12.89 RWHP over stock, and our cold air attachment yields a few more. These BMW owners are still in denial that we could build a better air filter system than their Munich engineers. Again, almost +13 RWHP for a small investment. Not to mention a cleanable/ re-useable filter, excellent throttle response and nicer engine sounds. Marty |

How much is just the cone filter? |
