Ok Mr. Illiterate, let me lay this out for you a second time. My question is not can I route it behind the pass headlight, I could route it to the trunk if I wanted, I have the ability. My question was is there a reason or effect having it routed to the drivers side provides?

changing the length of the intake changes your hp gain in certain rpms. generally shorter tube helps out in the lower area and longer tube is opposite. but its only so long before theres no gains anywhere at all. (ive tested this myself on the dyno)

also i said generally because theres other factors like where its drawing the air from. if you have a short ram your going to be absorbing hot engine bay air so you could just lose power all around.

Thank you, this is more what I was looking for! As far as heat, I think it should be around the same if not less considering it will no longer be on the exhaust side of the bay. I knew that runner length on the intake manifold effected hp and torque in RPM ranges but I had never really heard anything on length previous to throttle body so I didn't know if that also effected it as well. I also wasn't sure if having the MAF closer to the throttle body would effect any readings or anything, I know the MAF can cause a ton of problems in these cars lol.
