Anyone running a ram air intake?

This is my pathy. I built an intake out of pvc and routed it through the grille. Haven’t had time to test it out to it’s full potential yet because my timing chain gave out right before I built it and my car is still in the shop. When I drove it to the shop though it felt very responsive to the throttle. Besides the volant intake ram air, I’ve only seen 1 other 4.0 with a similar setup and that was a frontier. Some people run a vacuum hose up to the air box from the place where the fog lights would be but I have fog lights so I opted for a through grille intake. I don’t think this setup adds horsepower on the dyno because air isn’t being forced into the air box but it definitely makes a difference in every day driving. I have yet to compare gas mileage but I wouldn’t have accurate numbers anyway because my evap purge valve had a fault code which I think was draining my gas faster than normal. My main reason for this post is to see if anyone else is running anything similar that isn’t a volant box, or if anyone has any suggestions to improve the gains I can get with this, thanks.
