Oh goody, they flash

[Candyman]

Indeed it does

Especially on full boost

Just follow install instructions exactly and don't rush the vent removal

[Candyman]

Ran a foam strip to seal around the air inlet - has reduced intake noise

Why do they have the intake open to the engine bay ???

Dumb design huh.

[Candyman]

I understand why it isn't a ramjet type intake and why it picks up dual intakes but it could be better designed.

[tonymy01]

My only thought on that intake design is to allow cooler air to flow into the engine bay to keep things a smidg cooler for the engine, gearbox & firewall perhaps, rather than as a secondary place for the inlet to pull air from?

[Candyman]

Huh ????

The actual air intake is pulling air (-ve pressure)

Do you mean through the grill ?

Confused

[tonymy01]

Notice there is a splitter in the grill intake piece, with one section going to the intake, and one going to the gaping hole underneath..
