Engine Bay Needs Air
After reading where one guy lost power because his CAI rubber seal didn't quite match the configuration of his new hood, it pointed out just how critical unheated air is to the system and performance. He was drawing in heated Engine Bay air and it choked his performance completely.
I was just wondering if anyone has put in either functional hood,or fender vents to supply the CAI with a flow of outside air? If so, please let me know where and how much, and pics would be great too.
thanks

Hmm... not a bad idea. Did you use the ducts from Agent 47 or did you mod your own? Got pics?
