Ram Air?

I'm curious, can anybody with a new G get a picture or video of the bottom of the air-boxes? I'm assuming there's duct work coming from somewhere, in order to feed the boxes and then the TB's. I would think either through the front grill or from the lower left and right cut-outs in the bumper. Just wondering how much of a true ram-air set up this really is. Regardless, the car is very hot! Congrats to anyone who's taken delivery.

Sorry, don't have car so can't help with pics. The ram air set up must be real enough since Infiniti has a specific claimed gain of 3hp @ 60mph.

Best I could find...




I don't think there's any lower ducting....
I would suspect intake is through the front grill.
here's the air box... & MAF

Thanks for the pictures!

I can't really see the bottom of the boxes, but I would agree with you that there probably isn't any duct work connecting to the openings in the bumper. I say this because the the bumper on the "S" model is different, and I doubt they would redesign the ducting to fit each model (otherwise it wouldn't line up) You might see some people getting creative with PVC though.

This is the bottom of the box.
It looks like it's rounded off.... doesn't look like there's any additional connection point.
& with the mounting tab, it looks like it sits close to the frame.
