Well ram air is cold air, so it's not like cold air is going to be colder, I'm not following the logic there. And in either case I would think the air filter would smooth any incoming turbulence. I just don't think ram air systems, on most setups at most speeds, really produce any noticeable force into the intake system compared to the sucking power the engine already possesses.
