Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.
Some strategies used in designing aftermarket cold air intakes are: Reworking parts of the intake that create turbulence to reduce air resistance. [2] Providing a more direct route to the air intake by eliminating muffling devices. Shortening the length of the intake. Placing the intake duct to use the ram-air effect to give positive pressure ...
