Thats why I said ram air is a misnomer. Most stock intakes are designed to reduce noise and prevent dirt and water ingestion first and foremost at the expense of some fuel economy and power. Theres plenty of information on how to modify the intake here.
Reducing intake flow restriction to the absolute bare minimum
If you do a search you'll find a bunch of intake articles using several different vehicles.
