Where'd you get it and where will you fit it?
I was planning to replace my K&N with an ITG filter but ideally I'd like a ram air system.

Very nicely done! I've something fairly similar on the Zed - a CAI is well worth doing over the standard induction mods.

Very nice job indeed - would love to do something similar but there aren't really any good spots to put a hole in a pre-facelift fto front bumper.

I'm with Bernard on this, I found this out the hard way 6 or 7 years ago driving through what seemed like a small enough puddle (luckily the head gasket was on the way out and I didn't end up completely wrecking the engine)

Colm I guess the trick is not to fit it so low that you'll suck in the water..
A system like on a proper 4x4 might work best in ireland.. you know the chimney stack looking things...Schnorkel

theres a small drian hole in the cone for water to run out from the inlet :
i could put a 1 way vavel in the loest point of the samco hose in the other pic
but it is where my fog light is so it is high ish up and i dont have many fords round me or big pudels that apear when it rains
