Before I went with forced induction I ran for a time with no airbox resonator, and a 3" truck 90° radiator hose attached to the shortened end of the tube where the resonator was, through the said splash guard, and forward as a cheap, hidden ram air system.





However at the dragstrip it did nuttin!?
On the road in real life it should help.
