| Not Ranked : 0 score Good deed for the day: If you take it off, there is a port in the radiator support that can be opened (used for the regular 3 air ducting) that will allow air to flow to a SRI. Other than that, if you take it off, air flows around more redily then just on top of the motor, IMO.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Removed the ducting and the "directors" behind the grill to help give some more air to the radiator (Corksport sells some "directors" that help channel more to the radiator since the intercooler takes up most the air flow) and only kept the snorkel tube for the battery box. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I think it has it's own "Christmas tree plugs" attached to it. Mines attached to the hood still, has some wiggle since it's not connected to the rest of the ducting but it's still attached. |

| Not Ranked : 0 score I think the best way is to drop the air flow behind/under the intercooler (Front/top). Less air pressure behind the FMIC = more air flow thru it remove air duct... |
