Jerry,
Am I wrong in thinking that a ram intake will force air through a filter?

I read somewhere a while back that a filter will pull 1" of pressure.  If ram air gives you an extra 2", then you're still 1" ahead with the combo.  Cut the ram and your behind 1".  Cut the filter and your ahead 2".  They're orthogonal.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
