Default X1 intake people what are you doing with your ICM's?

the stock airbox has a small flap like thing so that air rushes below the metal plate the ISMs are mounted on.

I would like to somehow still give my ISMs some cooling air flow..any idea how?

TIA~

Well....technically usually the shock tower. Works fine there and stays sufficiently cool. ;-)

are people just placing it on the shock tower? or actually drilling into and mounting it there?

Default It is supposed to be drilled and mounted with the spacers included with the kit.

Like so:

Default i stand corrected. my auto vocabulary is poor. :-(

On the plus side, this was one of the few things I actually installed myself. There is nothing like driving a drill bit into something and wondering if will hit something important.
