Abstract
An air intake assembly configured to direct air into a throttle body of an engine of an automotive vehicle includes an air cleaner enclosure, primary and secondary air intake ducts, a ram air power valve and a downstream air intake duct. The air cleaner enclosure unit has an air cleaner inlet and an air cleaner outlet. The primary air intake duct directs air between a primary air inlet and the air cleaner inlet. The secondary air intake duct directs air between a secondary air inlet and the air cleaner inlet. The ram air power valve is disposed in the secondary air intake duct and is configured to move between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, air is permitted to flow through the secondary intake duct. In the closed position air is inhibited from passing through the secondary air intake duct.
