Post B&M Cooler and SLP Cold Air Install

I just bought a B&M Cooler and started reading a little about installing the cooler. My problem is I have the SLP Cold Air that I think will be in the way of the normal installation. Do anyone have another method for installing the cooler?

I went the other way; I hacked almost all of the CAI
off and reworked the duct to draw from outside the
radiator space, out of the nose air pocket (with some
relief of the styrofoam in the nostrils, to get more
air in there).

Between the stock CAI and the cooler over half of the
radiator was shrouded (not good for Florida).

i mounted mine under the bumper area on the passenger side. Just stuck up under the chin of the car basically.....no way is this as good as mounting in front of the radiator tough....but i too have a FTRA setup and it did not allow me to mount up front like i wanted too........

Cool

Just got the B&M Cooler installed using the Dope Method. Looks great. I also installed a SLP Radiator. That was a much better job. Thanks for everyone's help on the install.
