OOOO a functional Ram air hood. One question. If the TB is mounted on the front right part of the engine, how is the tubing routed to fit over the top of the engine, making a sharp U-turn witha left hook before entering the TB and being more functional than a cai?It looks good whosever it is, but I'm still skeptical of how it works on the Vibe/Trix other than looks. Maybe a Reverse cowl would be better to let engine heat off easier.

If its anything like my friend ram air for his silverado then it gave instructions on cutting the stock airbox and adding a second air filter on top with a gasket to seal it against the hood.

The bottom line here, I think, is that the hood in the picture is probably not the one they are selling.

thats a real hood for the vibe, you either need a sri to take advantage of it or cut a hole in the top of your stock airbox where that circle is...thats where this fits, so the hood scoopes dump the air into...or supposidly. is that the question?
