^^ Air flows all around the radiator. No such thing as dead spots.

First time I have heard this. But these are Samco's. Where does the water go then? That is the part I don't get.

love the chrome injens! i think they match great with the silver engine bay. red is better then black on the hoses too. i think the way you chose the colors go well with the silver engine bay.

idk, this is actually the only time i've heard this also, but i haven't really ever looked for info on it.
i think the only way to find out if its true or not is to keep an eye on your coolant level.
I just thought i'd show you incase it does turn out to be true, so that you don't have to find out about this the hard way...

Wait. So to access/clean the filters, you have to remove the front bumper? What a pain, especially if you clean them often!

Yea looks like it. But you don't need to clean them that often.

When I can. It's been raining here. Truthfully the engine sounds no different till you get on it. So starting up, and normal driving are no change really. I think the exhaust tone changed slightly that is all.

A.H., I have had intakes. I know how they respond. I was responding to the person above that wanted to hear me start it up and driving around.
