What area do you have to section and why has no one else had to?
Nothing special. I cut some out of that area a while back trying another design, and had to park the vehicle before I finished.
I'd intended to replace the ABS modulator with an in-line filter and just have a single bend in a full diameter intake pipe rising to just below the rack area. Doesn't matter now, because I'm going to try to get the ABS stuff working.
That said, I'm hitting the tube itself. I was a touch frustrated due to the mosquitoes last night, so I'll screw with it just a little more, but I'm not going to spend too much time on it right now.
Either it'll drop in with some adjustment to the panel or it won't. Right now, I'm a half inch off without the rubber in the middle.
I could make this work, but I don't have time unless I get lucky. Best to just button it back up for now if a few minutes of staring doesn't cure it. I can get to it after the storm; it's not as if it's required.
Honestly, I just kind of wanted it on there for the fun factor in this potential bad weather and to cool the charge.
The air intake is not particularly vulnerable to begin with.
