you would have to have a 180 degree bend out of the hole in the bottom box in order to reach the cowl area. That is a pretty tight bend that isn't going to help the flow of air. Or plug that hole and make a new one at the back of the box.


I'm starting to think you are taking the cowl induction thing a little to far. There has got to be a reason why car manufactures don't use cowl induction any more. They always use an inlet at the front of the car to get the ram air effect. Corvette, Viper, SLR all use a ram air inlet at the front of the car. Its 2008 not 1968. The reason NASCAR still does it is because it is a rule not because its the most efficient means of sucking in air.
