John,
Loved the aluminum air dryer vent tub idea. I have a 94 where I made my own
dual air intake where I used the plastic tubing from a wrecked Ram, cut
another hole in the air cleaner housing and welded on another snorkel then
proceeded to run the additional tubing down and under the battery box. It
works well and looks as if it was stock.
I think I might look into replacing my plastic tubing with your aluminum
dryer vent idea?
