High pressure air is better then low pressure. You can probably pull it off with mainly a 90* bend to face forward. I think its pretty much a straight shot past the fans. But then you must consider possibly using reflective heat wrap to help with the heat coming off the radiator.

Its something Ive always wanted to try and just never got to.

I used to run a 'hot air' duct that took air off the exhaust side to help reclaim lost MPG during the winter. Killed power but hey 50+ during winter on winter fuel

Thats how I know the 3" clamps on lol

Dang, 50 mpg!? I'm getting 39-41 mpg right now (that's with traffic everyday and rain).

Considering I sit in stop and go traffic on pretty much a daily basis, I don't want to have to deal with heat soaking (which was what I was afraid of in your idea). Plus, I won't be using the snorkel at all. Right now, I'm fine with the opening by itself since it's been cold lately, but once warmer temps start again, I must have that opening filled with the ducting work.

Are there any high pressure areas on the driver's side? How can you find out where high pressure areas are at anyway?
