Need beta tester for V6 Ram Air Performance System

As some of you may have read under these threads:

Tundra Ram Air Performance System NOW AVAILABLE!

Tundra Ram Air Performance System

I have a Ram Air Performance Performance System for the stock air box that works on the Tundra 4.7L and I believe will work on the V6 "as is" or with minor modification(s).

Q: Is the V6 air box exactly the same as the 4.7L version? I would think not, but I would bet it installs in the same location. Can someone take a few pics of the V6 air box and send them to me via info@ramairperformance.com?

If you are interested in being a "beta tester", please send me a PM and we can discuss the particulars. To review what's involved, the Installation Instructions for the 4.7L Stock Air Box are under: http://ramairperformance.home.attbi....ndra_stock.pdf

Thanks!

Jim.

The V6 airbox is not the same as the V8. The V6's is bigger height wise but the filters are the same size.

Also the intake tube for the V6 comes in from the right rear of the airbox versus the right side for the V8.

Thanks Gary! You don't happen to have a digital camera do ya'? If so, can you take a few snaps and post them to your photo section?? If not, I appreciate the info. none-the-less...

Seee-ya!

Of course as soon as I replied I went under Gary's pic's and see he already has one useful pic:

Any chance you can take a pic of the front of the box near the washer fluid neck? I'm trying to see if the box can be modified the same way as the V8:

(Also see link to Installation Guide below.) At first glance, it looks like my existing kit will work "as is" for the V6 (TBD)...

Thanks!

Hello - I have a question about this ram air system: Do you leave the stock air tube (that leads from the fenderwell into the air filter box) intact and open, in conjunction with the ram air duct?
My concern is that if the ram air duct is the only air source, water could be sucked up into the filter box during heavy downpours, watercrossings, etc. I'm not a big offroader but I have crossed streams and large mud puddles that briefly caused a wave that reached the location of the ram air intake.
BTW, do you still need V6 under-the-hood pics? Let me know since I have a digital camera...
Regards, Pete

Good questions! (Same as many others, so it looks like I need to create/post an FAQ to my site...)

- Yes, the stock air inlet from the fender well to the air box is retained/not touched.

- Re your water concern, in actuality, there really is no way for water to travel through the scoop and UP the air duct to the FIPK or stock air box. Given the design, it would be virtually impossible - unless you submerged the entire front bumper. So, driving through the occasional water puddle or high stream won't be an issue. Plus, the new 2" air inlet you create in your stock air box is BELOW the air filter. So, any residual dirt, dust, moisture, etc. would be filtered before it reaches the engine.

Thanks for the offer to take some pic's, but I'm all set thanks to 2toytrucks - the first with the RAP Sytstem for the V6! We still have a few minor issues to iron out, but I expect to make the V6 version available some time in June.

Stay tuned...

Thanks!

Jim.

FYI - based on common questions I've collected from various folks, I've created an FAQ that I plan to keep updated...

Seee-ya!
