Default Custom ram air plausible?

Both of the Camaros I've owned had one fog light not work... so I never turned them on. I've always thought it would be cool to make a custom ram air setup using the holes for the fog lights. My current Camaro came with the SLP cold air intake so I figure I would connect there.

Does this seem practical or cool or easy or hard or silly? Tell me what you guys think

PS I haven't even googled this idea yet so don't yell at me if it's already been done haha!

it depends if you have room undernieth the front, its quite tight under there and hard to run pipes, i was going to try something similar in my 99 via the front grill but there is no room with the LS1 engines to go over the radiator to the air intake

Yeah but like I said I have the SLP cold air so I wouldn't need to connect directly to the box...

probably will have no actual increase over the SLP intake. You could do it for the luls

Agreed, also if you do decide to do it you must think about the weather conditions that its gonna go under, foglight mostly stop working because there is moisture getting to em since the car is pretty low to the ground, if you even manage to put an intake there you'd have to worry about filter replacement quite often. I wouldn't do it on your place the.

ah sorry didn't notice you said that, otherwise I would have said what FD did, there is no point on having it. I thought you wanted a custom piece other than stock, my bad

Hmmmm... I didn't think that the SLP cold air would be as effective as an actual ram air in the very front of the car. Does that plastic little lip down there really throw the air up there that fast?

You have to cut the air deflector for the SLP (these cars are bottom feeders, they get more air underneath)

No my deflector wasn't cut for any ram air... It's just the cold air package. I could be wrong though, and we might be talking about different things haha.

is your car a v6 or v8? SLP makes a "ram air" kit to work with a ls1 airbox
