Grill Intake

I was thinking about the possibility of a Grand AM style Ram Air that comes from the grills (or on the Ram Air Grand AM, the lack of). Anyone know if there would be anything preventing this, or should this just be straightforward?
 


how are you going to pipe it to the motor? seems like itd be a waste of time, but the cool factor might be there.
 
That's what I was thinking. I believe the air box in the Ram Air GA is right up front there.
Right now it's just a thought, but if I get the time and money, I'll do it.
 


Which why Ram Air hoods are made. =P
Although I could do the grill intake and put a cowl hood on it.

it wouldn matter if you ran with no hood...thats ABOUT the only place our radiaters get air from...and if you block that your gonna see some high temps...

too many bends to be useful.

x2 the tdc 90* bend was iffy to me let alone a hole in the grill that goes into a 90 into a couple more 90* to get to the tb fukk that shyt....better off going tdc style and taking out the fog light or just run a wizair with the HL out....
 
I'm not sure if anyone else is really thinkin of this idea or if something has been created. But I had an idea on it that might work if someone still was thinkin of doing this...

In the diagram, the top piece would be mounted to the bottom of the hood and the bottom piece mounted inside the engine compartment. I was thinkin if you were to make this two piece box/pipe when you open the hood, ya you'll see the top piece mounted and would just basically be like a metal chute with a lip that would come down and fit into the bottom piece. The bottom piece would be open with the air filter showing and have a gasket or some type of seal that when the hood was shut would minimize the air leakage.

This was just somethin that I thought of not really full proofed or measurements taken nothin.. Just an idea if someone was thinkin of tryin this idea still that would eliminate all the hard bends and all the other problems that were thought of. Its an idea run with it..
 
i like the grill idea but the temps will go up, and i like the fog light idea but i use both of mine so i was thinking why not make one that goes in the opening in the bottem of the bumper(the two big openings under the two little grills), i dont even know if its possiable but i think that would be a good one if it'll work
