Rear air intakes.

[futureechos]

Is it standard for the near side to be blanked, but the drivers side to not have the blanking plate? I can see inside and there is a cooling fan..

 

I just expected them to be the same.  Have read some people have removed the blanking to get better airflow.. but this would allow debris in?

 

no idea what’s the norm..?

@futureechos

Near side intake is air induction for air filter & offside intake is for cooling of the engine bay.

 

"De-Snorking" the nearside intake by removing the restriction plate allows for supposedly better induction flow... I've got my CS desnorked & it does increase the intake roar at higher rpm but I don't notice any improvement in power.

 

Some folk remove the restriction plate and then fit a 3D printed type of plate (pointless imo)... I've never had any issue with debris/water ingress...

Perfect answer. Thanks Mavrik.

If you don't fancy the cost with shipping and everything, I'd be happy to print some of these for cheap(er). Easy enough to do a custom design too, if you want that. I'd be inclined to make the holes a little larger, myself.

 

I would need my hands on a PN 98757575700, though.

 

Custom CaymanOC design, anybody?
