Well FIRST off you need a REAR WHEEL DRIVE car for drifting .... [:@][sm=nono.gif]
Second off no one makes a Ram air set up for our cars ... So that leaves you with a CAI

First off, welcome to DF Zer0pain.
You don't drift in a FWD, you power slide, unless you are going backwards, lol. In drifting, the rear is kicked out of line in a turn and that kick out is sustained by the rear wheels where they are literally gliding over the pavement because of the many modified components that a stock car does not have. In a FWD the rear wheels cannot slide over the pavement in that way. "CANNOT" as in, FWD cars cannot physically sustain a drift (therefor it's not drifting, it's sliding), not "CANNOT" as in you're not allowed to.

Short RAM is not the same as ram air ....
Ram air has a hood cut out that the air filter resides under thus "ramming air into the intake "
