I have the same custom ram air on my car. It doesn't affect the radiator cooling at all. I've noticed a better throttle response since the custom ram air.

Its not really attached. I just cut it a little bit bigger than the box that holds the filter and with the foam/weatherstripping I used to seal it up it is held down TIGHT. You could attach it if you wanted but I didn't see the need to. One sheetmetal screw into the core support would work.

My sheetmetal wasn't perfectly flat either since it came of a 88 camaro hood ;-) So it naturally wedged itself a little. As long as you cut it a little bigger than the box that holds the filter you should be fine.

Its the aluminum tape they use on home a/c systems. Been a week and haven't notice any change in appearance so I'm gonna keep rolling with it unless it comes apart.

And BTW. Commerce sucks. You need to go down to Silver Dollar Raceway if you wanna know what your car can do
Thanks man. And yeah I know Commerce sucks LOL I knew I'd be close to the 12s. Next time I will be at Silver Dollar.

Looks really good man!! I've just built my own intake, and am about to turn mine into a true ram air. I'm going to try to mate it with the hood and seal it off around the stock "ram air" ports.
