Ram Air is mostly bunk on cars, all it really means is a definite cold air source. As for the filter/hole placement, the Stillen Gen3 filters are near the center when installed. I actually think the Mine's holes, where they're at in the photos, wouldn't be directly over the filters anyways, they'd probably be hitting the pipe just behind each filter.
Generaly unless the air box is really optomised and even then, cold air will out power ram air 2:1 or even more. A drop of the intake air of 10-15 degrees will outpower most ram air systems, not to mention posible issues like MAF turblence that you might get with ram air.
