they are designed to force air in with the large scoop and as the air makes it way down to the small pipe going into the throttle body, it condenses the air down (i think..) forcing it into the throttle body hence giving better throttle response/power therefor more bhp...
but the way the above actually works means your car actually has to go like a min of 200mph for the theory to work if you get me...
Sorry for the sh*t explanation but ive forgotton the ins n outs of how a ram charger should work! im sure someone else could explain better.
The ramcharger is just an open I/K inside a heat sheild though.
The k-tec site says its "a high flow induction kit housed inside a carbon look shield."
According to them "The shield prevents the air filter from being exposed to hot air from the engine which means only cold air from the front of the car is drawn into the engine. The colder the air entering the engine the more power the engine produces."
Ive heard the theory your talking about on here before connor but i cant see where thats coming from to be honest. As far as i can see its a normal I/K inside a heat sheild, why wouldnt it work?
