Put a ziptie on the radiator overflow tube next to the cap to keep it from leaking

I cut a 4" hole in the bottom on my stock airbox. Screwed in a Dryer hose adapter that vents to the outside of the house. Then attached a dryer hose to the bottom of the fenderwell and secured using tie wraps. Also attached a 4" stove pipe bend to the bottom of the hose. Instant ram air effect.

please elaborate.

do you put in front of the radiator? I thought that was just to get heat faster in the wintertime.

Good one, I have an annoying single drop on the verge of dripping ... never would have thought about this one on my own.
