You could be as low as 10% of required air volume. I can't see the louver gaps. When you get that fixed, you will think you have a dragster. Smokin the tires every take off. [emoji106] Not really
Not as big as I was wanting, but it fit like a glove and is much improved over the old one (that's it on top).
It drives differently... I think more along the lines of how it's supposed to behave though. I've noticed I can hear the electric fuel pump more now. Would you expect that? Also, my oil pressure appears to be lower. Not sure if that's just a coincidence. But, it's one of those things where because I drive it every day, I'm quite familiar with how it behaves and sounds....
