It looks like one of those fake intercoolers people put on their cars. I wonder how much air across the heat exchangers it blocks.

nothing like a ton of horrid tubing to disturb airflow.

if you want a front, buy a intake like injen, aem and such and pick up an extra coupling, run a 45" pipe to the front.

I appreciate the fact that CA tried to think outside the box on this one, but I dont know how I'd explain that to my friends with real FMICs.

That could work on the 2.2 or 2.4 where you could hide it behind the lower grille

If you can't see it, who cares?
