What do you think would happen if you removed that tray permanantly??? The intake would get a lot of cold air that's for sure but, what about weather?

The Reverend,

Thanks for the pics!

Is the AEM tubing thinner than the throttle body opening diameter? It looks like the tubing is pretty big. Does it narrow down at any point?

I saw that you had to cut the hole for entry into the bumper area for the intake and the vent to the radiator area.

Are those the two areas all that you had to cut?

The hole near the radiator is in FRONT of the radiator, so it actually gets cold air. Also, this should be a high pressure area as the air gets bunched up in front of the radiator.

There were 3 things that had to be cut. The fenderwell, the place in front of the radiator, and just a small part of the undertray. Nothing visible.

Ryan - hey, I can't make dromo this weekend, but lemme know next time you guys are getting together.

Anyone in 310: I'm about to head out to West End Alignment in Gardena for a 1:00 alignment appointment. If anyone in the area wants to stop by and check it out, stop on by.

Hey Reverend,

I'm right by gardena in torrance. If I would've known earlier, I would've come out and checked out the intake. It looks pretty nice. I just had lunch with UL and we might've been able to come check it out. Maybe next time.

My whole car needs to be repainted. The front end just happens to be the worst part of a sad paint job. Thank Honda for what has got to be the least durable paint ever sprayed on a $30k+ car. My whole front end is BADLY pitted everywhere. The little scratches under the bumper don't even worry me because at least you can't see them when you look at the car.
