I went to HIN and saw a car with a short ram intake with a filter on it and the filter had a connecter where it hooked up a cold air intake with a filter at the bottom of that. Great idea IMO. anybody do this before?

Yes, but you don't need the filter at the bottom. Just the one in the engine bay, then have a pipe going down into the fender to catch cold air. I've also seen the stock airbox cut to hold a cone filter and act as an insulator to keep heat out.

Exactly...2 filters is retarded.

The Icebox & PRM CAI are both like that...filter sits in the bay with an open extension for cold air.

I'd show you a picture of how that is done but this board won't let me post any of my pictures from my MSN album. Its pretty easy though. I used a piece of black hose from the end of a rain gutter in my appartment complex. Cut it to length and you can't even tell that its in there.

Here's what I did with some PVC pipe this weekend:

It feeds my short ram outside (aka "cold") air from the airdam and it helps my underhood heat problem quite a bit (DC 4-2-1 has no heat shield, so there's lots of heat). The car feels a little better when it's hot outside now. I'm planning to build a box around my short ram's filter that the PVC will connect to, for an actual ram-air system. When it rains or I go to the car wash, I can just take the box'es lid off and cover the PVC pipe at the bottom, so it'll only use engine bay air. Construction of the box starts this week...

Basically, you should just use your stock airbox, remove the resonator, and get some sort of drop in air filter. The one that I would personally reccomend is made by spoon sports. For torque reservation, I would not use the open cone filter without the airbox.
