Ram-Air Air Cleaner

[BDK]

Does anyone have a good picture overview of the connections for the Ram-Air Air Cleaner portion of the setup? Specifically, the flapper in the snorkel....I know the aftermarket Ram-Air Air Cleaners are decent but they seem to be lacking the connection for this on the underside of the cleaner. Or am I totally missing something????

You are correct no one makes the bi-metal vacuum pod to control the cold air snorkel flapper

Most guys do not have the heat riser tube and shield to make use of the warm air start up anyways.

It only helps for cold start / choke operation

As for that article...

It does not address the bi-metal pod.

Also if you install the DII ram air, you probobly want to...

1- remove the dii sticker off the plenum

2- remove the gold metric nuts and bolts holding the flappers to the plenum - they are shipping hardware

Use the black screws from AMK - like the original ones

Don

3- use the black screws all around the plenum

As Don said, I do not have the heat riser hooked up at all, I am running headers. I also changed to a manual choke.

Eric here are the pics of the Air Cleaner. Notice the shot with my finger, that would be the area where the bi-metallic strip Don mentioned would go if they made it......

Not sure if this is the right one, but here's a filter without the housing:

I don't think anyone makes the housing.
