Modifying fog light covers as air inlets

[MJZ]

Any benefit? Or will it hurt aero and/or intake performance?

[GT-R]

Not good when driving in the rain.

Water scoops.

Us gen 3 camry guys actually locate our intakes right behind where the "fog lights" go. I haven't known anyone to suck in any air.

edit: AFTERMARKET Cold air intake.... goes behind the lower right little hole there, under the turn signal... inside the fender.

^stock intake is right under the headlights, so not quite as low as foglights go.. though not far from it

Any benefit you think for a gen 6/6.5?



These are the foglight covers I'm thinking of adding vertical slits to.

I'm concernened about aero and/or disturbance...

I highly doubt anyone here is going to prove the physics and give you a 100% definite answer. If you want to do it, do it!

It would benefit more on track with ducts running to the brakes. But for everyday use...i doubt you'll feel any difference.

I plan on doing this to my old bumper for track days...as the fog lights are out of it. I'll ad duct work and run it either to the intake, or to brakes. but that will only be used on track days.

Dyno your car before and after the change to find out.

[hientham]

maybe a little if you have the CAI, but watch out for the rain!

[BlackCamSe]

So basically you want to run a ram air setup?

+1. It would be good for brake ducts for the track. For the air intake duct, I don't think it will make much of a difference in hp. As for the aero, I think the effect of the ducts on the aero aspect would be minimal also unless you were consistently doing 100mph+ on track days and then you would have to way the good with the bad. Brake/air duct gains vs the aero losses.

I'll probably dremel it and get new covers if I don't like it...
