For a short ram you could probably get by with the 90 degree mandrel bent pipe from JC Whitney, but if you decide to do CAI that can turn into a ram get the 180 degree... you need that and a couple of the rubber connector things... do a search though b/c someone just asked about this and the Team Sol site explains in detail what needs to be done.
