I recently installed a FIPK and a AUT cooling plate but I installed the FIPK a day earlier then the cooling plate and it sounded better without the plate. After I installed it I felt like the air flow is restricted. I took off the radiator cover so its just the cooling plate infront.

 

you'll get more flow to the filter with the AUT installed as long as the stock one is removed. That helps air get right to the filter.
You will not see any negatives from having it either.

 

does the cooling plate really make any difference, ive seen them everywhere but i feel like unless ur tracking ur car which i am not doing as of yet, that it is probably not worth much to me

 

It's not worth a ton. It looks good and will direct some air at the filter of intakes like the K&N FIPK.

 

yea, it doesnt seem to be worth it to me, but it is pretty cheap, so maybe later but not right now

 

I wouldn't waste my money on a cooling plate.

 

 

now

 

if you already have it then theres no point to like the 4 people that posted not to buy one
