installing m2 style cold air box?
What do i need to do when installing a cold air box other than removing the stock intake and dropping in the after market box?
What do i do with the stock air duct that runs to the ic and stock intake...do i just cap it off somehow? What have you done?
Also do i need to clear a path from the front air dam (remove any plastic or foam).
Thanks

You are correct about all items. You will need to block off the opening on top of the intercooler duct. This is the opening that was previousley used to feed the stock air box. Some people fabricate or purchase a sheet metal block off plate for this and screw it into place. I taped mine into place, but tape alone will work just as well. If you have the stock radiator then you will need to remove the foam seal on the rt side of the radiator to make room for the air scoop on the M2 air box. If you have an aftermarket radiator I have heard that you need to cut out the rt side radiator flange to make room for the air boxes air scoop.

you will also have to remove alot of the supporting bracketry for the stock airbox and the little fuse panel if only temporarily move it aside. The new coldbox will take a little effort to get shoved in there but it does fit nicely. You won't need the stock airbox duct piece but the IC piece stays. I used tape too, Lunar!

Once the M2 box is in there connected to the hoses its not going anywhere. Its a tight fit to get it down so you'll see what I mean. Make sure you have it set ALL THE WAY DOWN. I didn't and my hood insulation kept hitting it. Not a big deal but will leave a mark on your insulation.
Getting the hoses on was a pain in the butt and you may have to trim some of them...at least I did.
When I upgraded to the Fluidyne radiator, there was no need to modify anything with my box or the radiator itself.
Have fun!
Oh yeah, does your M2 box have the M2 logo on the cover? Mine doesn't, some do...just wondering where you fall in.

For my M2 aluminum intake, after I removed the brackets on the bottom that hold the stock intake. I just used the same holes and same screws that held the bracket in place to hold the M2 in place.
