Welcome to RF.

No, unfortunately there is no way to make it fully functional to the intake. I've spent many hours trying to figure out a way (and I know someone else who has as well), but Ram just didn't design it to be useful other than looks.

matt and JJ...do you know how well it actually functions? Just wondering because i remember reading a lot how the srt hood wasn't worth making functional because the turbulence or friction across the opening prevented it from bringing in any worthwhile amounts of air.

well, the SRT 10 hood wasn't running a CAI that fed off it. :D

On my setup, I have the hood, APM air box (which sits on top of the factory one, uses an AFE filter), then I have a Legmaker LMI tube to a ported trottle body. Trust me.........I feel quite a difference from all of that.
