I'm trying to figure out why one would need to bleed the coolant system after installing a cai??
i installed one on my car. i already had a cheapy ebay one when i got the car, so i didn't have to remove a stock airbox, but i still can't see any reason to remove coolant lines??? but yes, if you open the coolant system up like that, it's always best to bleed it.

I've just installed my v2 intake but was wondering what is supposed to be attached to this bracket/flange?

I've been reading up on the AEM V2 lately.. My car was equiped with the intake when I bought it. The previous owner, or whoever installed it, did a good job.
The drain hole on top is covered with tape, there is an umbrella installed to protect the filter and it has a plug to let standing water out, but perhaps it's like that from
factory?
Recently I found out that both underbody covers in front of the engine are not installed. The big one, which is under the radiators, and the smaller one. However, the fake
inlet in the bumper is not cut, so it's sucking air from where otherwise the big plastic undertray is located.
I was thinking about reinstalling the plastic covers, because I believe it's there for a reason, they might help increase fuel economy, and maybe high speed stability. But then I might
have to cut the fake inlet, which might increase the risk in hydrolocking?
How has everybody else tackled this problem? Just cut the fake air inlet in the bumper?
