ram air is useless on a turbocharged car. the airspeed at the intake is about 100mph... so unless you're going much beyond that you're not gonna see any ram air effects. the intake acts as a vacuum already. the point is to have access to cold air. and that's what that lil hose does. it helps to have it from more than one source, which is why lots of people have an inlet from their bumper and from the snork too.

i know all them CF Stuff's expensive but he wants weight reduction..and i dunno
about yall but try taking one of your doors off, they're heavy as hell.

anyways, did anyone post about those CF doors up yet? i dont remember the site but if i
run across it again i'll let yall know.

They are lighter but not as safe as money don't have any sort of supports in them. They are also nearly 3k for all four doors. Seibon makes them for the EVO8/9.

thanks, i wasnt sure it was Seibon or some other brand, but for sure
i know they're not as safe but i wonder if you could take the crash beams
from the stock doors and install them on the CF Doors? at least you'd have something.
