I never said they were. Simply they effect the maf voltage and make the car run poorly. hence taking all that into consideration the MAF in a away measures them and/or effected by them. This isn't a science class, its a topic that having unwanted air blown in by out side forces will make the car run like **** since its more air than what the car is supposed to be ingesting.

You meant to say outside operating range. you cant max it out if its in the operating range!

When the volume decreases, the density goes up.
The raison d'être of ram air is to increase pressure which in turn increases density which means more O2 molecules per unit of volume. |
You are not going to increase the pressure with this setup. The piping is not changing size or acting like a compressor in any way. The term ram air in this topic is just exposing the filter to outside air. Maybe you missed the word "ram air
effect." I think I have to spell things out for you since I already said I'm talking to people so they understand but you clearly can't come down a level and read whats in front of you.
