How about a DIY dual big mouth intake?

[Racket]

There is so much blocked off grill area on my Lariat I'm sure there is space to dedicate to a ram air system.

But then I'd be suggesting a grill/modded to specifically utilize it - but then it would require changing the entire intake system all the way to the throttle body to take advantage.

Hi Jack,

Usually when you do something to get more air into the engine, you will find minimal effect until you also increase getting the exhaust out of the engine....

Best,

Roger that Phil. Sawzall just after the turbo.

If I did that I'd be tempted to paint so it looked like, maybe, Ronald McDonald sucking in the air. I couldn't help myself.

Isn’t this just reducing your off-road capability by creating water scoops on the front to catch road spray, splashes and standing water? I am skeptical you are going to get much benefit from this and are just creating a increased risk of failure.

Do it. Ain't no one telling you you can't. Plus, you have enough light to cover the lost headlight

Haha. Fair enough.

You could use your Ranger as a big shop vac.

I'd rather do like that other guy and run an additional inlet through the fender, I think.

Just do the leaf blower mod and call it a day.

I got the velossa tech big mouth intake from a member on here long ago. It did seem to bump my mileage slightly but not all that much. I did modify my top skirt to allow the maximum amount of air to flow. What they do is create positive pressure at the air filter box. The engine will only take what it needs and the rest is wasted flow. If you look closely the way the factory set up the stock air flow the gasketing around that area directs cowl airflow to the air filter already. So we’re just creating more back pressure.
