What does it mean by a "ram tube" that boosted power by 18%? is it that air intake that is going in front of the radiator

by the rego plate , that would make it at least mid to late 97 , then again the article could have been written a few years later , id say the article would be less than 10years old .

in refrence to the ram tube , i think they are refering to a pod filter.
