That's what I've wanted to do for a while. Just modify the stock inlet and flush it. Gotta have the bulge, ladies like the bulge!

yeah if you went vmount you should definitely get a vented hood so air can flow through the intercooler and not just under it.

I have and plan to retain the TII hood on my FMIC'd AE. I like the scoop, and regardless, it's still bringing cool air into the engine bay...

the t2 doesnt work even if you had a top mount, more or less cool it without one. Below 60 miles an hour the temp by the scoop is actually hot and past 60 it onyl stays at ambient. Go NA or CF and stay sleepy

I vote keep the hood, who cares about being a sleepr, if you really wanna put some hours in, make some sort of ram air diverter that send the air to your intake.
