ok i just started puting my FTRA on my car, i cut the bottom air tray out like it says left the 5/8th for the filter,, but when i i was taking my air deflector i broke the bottom half on teh passenger side..

my question is do i really need to put the air reflector back in, or can i just continue installing it.

thanks

 

you definatly need the air deflector, that's what shunts air up into the radiator when the car is moving. cutting that out will prob make you over heat in a hurry, espy at speed.

glue it, tape it, ****** staple it together if you have to until you can get a replacement, but don't run without it

 

its not bad i was just wondering the top and middle section are fine just the passenger bottom piece broke off

leave it to my brother to rip it off and tell me i dont need it

 

Get it fixed or replaced; too many people before you have tried and end up with overheating issues.

 

both deflectors are gone off my dads car and mine and no overheating issues ever...

 

We recommend you leave the plastic deflector in place. It channels air to the radiator and also into the FTRA.

 

what piece are you talking about...the bottom air deflector about 6in wide or the two pieces that mate together under the radiator support...

 

that piece is the piece that broke off.. i think it might be fine?

 

Yes, I was referring to the long air dam under the car.

 

so its ok to still use correct?

 

Yep. The leg you broke off just helps secure it to the car. The bolts in the center and the one remaining leg should hold it on just fine.

 

I bought a FTRA and i didnt get any instructions with it...I dont want to cut out the wrong parts, could somebody pm me instructions or give me a link, thanks
