The 944S2 has the filter behind the nose panel but it's not an open filter . I'm not sure if the nose panel is a high pressure area anyway for it to work as ram air.
I did a working ram air setup on my n/a last year , over 80 mph it made some difference and i got 5mph more to my top speed.
Then i encountered the biggest problem with such a setup ,rain , the ram air is like a vacuum cleaner ,sucks in everything including water. I went to a 944 meet ,300 mile round trip , rained all day ,when i got home i found water in the air filter housing and in the oil ,got milkshake , god knows how it got all the way in the oil. Fortunately the engine didn't suffer any damage , 2 oil flushes later everything was ok.
Of course i disabled the ram air intake after that mishap.
