The APM hood is more of a direct shot:

Well, this is from the APM website:
http://www.apmautomotive.com/hoods/d..._dodge_ram.htm
Their hood isn't the SRT though, unless I'm misunderstanding you. Here is what their brochure says and it is layed out kind of like the picture I found on their website. If you look at their schematic on page 2.

Plus, your TB isn't in the same place as the picture you posted. That looks like a chevy motor in your pic. Here is a SRT-10 motor for a dodge.

yeah, I was just giving you an idea of what it would look like under the hood. I know that wasn't a RAM. The biggest issue with the delivery of air to our trucks and most "RAM air" systems associated with them is that:
1) there is too much in the way of the actual intake. (radiator, fan shroud, wheel well, etc.)
2) there are way too many turns between the intake and the throttle body for the system to be a truly effective "ram air" system.
Now, I could be totally wrong on this but from what I have deciphered from their website and their little brochures, with the APM hood, the airflow is never going off to the side to your air filter. You purchase their whole ram air system and it looks more like the pic I previously posted. That seems more "ram air" then the SRT10 hood and setup that I usually see. Unless I am missing something.

From the diagram I saw in the brochure, it looks like the intake is coming in the side of the motor, not the front like the pic you showed. If you look at the brochure where they have the arrow pointing at the engine, that's your fan. Look at the diagram where the intake tubes go. Looks like where the stock intake is on the side of the motor.
