So that's really not an issue. And, yes, they are in fact "open" on the top side (other than the hood closing on top of the entire engine bay, but that shouldn't matter); the heat shield is underneath them and also in front of them (toward the passenger side); so again, no real airflow impedance there either.  |
What is going to make the airflow come through the snorkel? With the stocke aribox, that's the only source of air, and the airbox "sucks" air through the snorkle. With the aFe intake, won't the air just get sucked from the drivers side of the car, which would be a less restrictive path?
