Corp. Honda copied a lot of ideas found on these pages in the 2002 upcoming model but they didn't change the grill. Do they know something we don't?

I'm running Grill Tech grills with my ram air scoop behind it. Did a few pressure tests with the new grill installed. The pressure was reduced by about 15% in the airbox. I don't feel that's enough to worry about unless you are already running into heat related issues. I did open up the Faux ducts and grilled them also to feed air into engine compartment for additional cooling just to be safe. The summers here in Texas get a bit warm

I doubt that this is true. . .maybe other grills, but this one is very light and made of stainless steel. . .no engine blow ups are going to come about from this. . .

I wonder how much of an effect this would have on a front-mount intercooler. I think that with the increase in thermal loading with running higher engine outputs and the increased heat of running an intercooler, the mesh grill might be a bad idea. Any thoughts, guys?
