TPI air intake questions

after the air intake connects to the bumper (or rather before), are there any sort of baffles or ducts that force the air into the air intake? or is it just the radiator sitting there

It's just the radiator sitting there. However, Hawks seels "TPI Ram Air Boxes" which are ducts that route the air through the openeings next to the front license plate up to the air filters. OR you can DIY using ducting.

Re: TPI air intake questions

i was actually just looking at that, if one were to get one of those boxes or DIY, it would essentially be blocking the radiator. now with an air dam and fans, would it being blocked on the front side have any effect on heating/cooling?
