FRA B4 FTRA I'm going to do the FRA mod this afternoon and the FTRA mod this summer. I want to be sure that after the FRA mod I can still do the FTRA so I'm concerned about cutting the radiator baffle. Can I cut that baffle in place as Installuniversity says and just use the directions for cutting sizes from FTRA instructions?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: FRA B4 FTRA You have to dp the FRA to do the FTRA, but a word of caution, dont cut it out all the way , I would leave about 1/2 inch around the whole outside for the seals that come with the FTRA. I cut mine out completely and now I have to use lots of silicone to seal it up. lots.... you can allways trim it farther when you get the FTRA if it turns out that 1/2 inc was too much

Re: FRA B4 FTRA Yea, I got a question on the radiator cover as well. Whenever I did the FRA on my car I tied the cover up against the front of my car with some lock ties. I did this so I wouldn't have to cut my radiator cover. It worked great, the radiator baffle was completely out of the way. My question is when I put my FTRA on I didn't cut the cover. I'm worried cause I'm not sure if I am getting the same gains as I would had I cut it. I really didn't notice a difference(SOTP) in the FTRA even at higher speeds. Could this be the reason why. TIA
