Default another FTRA question

I bought an FTRA a while back, when I went to install it I found about a pound of leaves and grass and what ever else could get inbetween my radiator and condensor. THis made me a little leary, but I really want to put it on. So my questionis have any of you ever seen anything stupid get sucked up in the air box after putting the FTRA on? Granted when I got the car it had 100,000 on it and I got it from an elderly lady so I am sure that could have been just a 100,000 miles worth of stuff. Do you think I could be endangering anything from running this??

As long as you have an air filter you'll be good. Go with a paper one and replace it every few months!!!

I do have to clean between where the FTRA goes to the air dam below once a year. Stuff gets lodged in there.

You should make a radiator screen like some C5/6 guys do, it looks like this.
