From what I understand, Ram air has little to no value on automobiles.

It has been used to the most benefit in motorcycle production.

For any benefit, it must be used in a place of high air pressure, such as at the base of the windshield where it meets the hood.

Cold air induction is not the same as ram air.

Ram air is basically force feeding your engine as the name implies (RAM the AIR into the engine . . . (?)) . . .

If cold air is what you want you just be sure to route your intake tubing as far away from the heat under the hood as possible, such as intakes that bring in air from behind a fog light or from under the chin spoiler, in front of the wheel well, et cetera.
