Ram Air was:[Shotimes] silencer cone

[Carl Prochilo]

I used weatherstrip insulation for that purpose, both at the fender and at
the MAF housing.  Yes I agree that the stock airbox is the best solution
ultimately.

If you get a chance, look at how Nissan/Infiniti do this on their cars. 
It's a pretty slick design.
