[QUOTE="SOCOMech, post: 18436, member: 255"] It's in addition to the stock snorkel, just a little extra something. I had noticed that the AFE filter takes up a good amount of space in the airbox and almost creates a, hesitant to say, barrier from the stock snorkel. I want to make use of the larger surface area of the larger filter and get more air moving around, so this little mod allows air to move in on the underside of the filter. The lid I want to make for the AFE is gonna sit a bit taller as well....if I were to just put something across the top now, it would practically touch part of the filter and make a small area for air to move around the top of it, so I want to lift that area and allow more air space. There's also a few other things going on here too. One, that anyone can do, is to just remove the rubber flap that sits between the headlight and condensor, where I have the ram air. That will allow more air to flow behind the headlight and into the fender and snorkel. Another thing believe it or not is due to the ADD bumper....because the stock one is not there covering the area, it's now just a giant scoop up into the fender now. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about....

But I live in AZ so I don't worry about that too much, lol. Are all of these things gonna give me 20hp, doubt it but, it's all just to help airflow to the filter which is always a good thing.
