screw that intake. its a peice of crap. use Timbersled or Stock with a mesh hood. Hope you enjoy snow all over your motor intake when ur holes tear. and with a skid plate. So your Gona drill thru 2 layers or cut it back Thus Limiting ur Protection. Thats why you bought the skid plate Correct? I know im gona catch chit for this. But its a POS intake.
so you should install an intake that costs $100+ more which is less complete, and weighs more?
If you want the performance of the timbersled intake... all you have to do is use 1/3 of the stuff that BD-X gives you for less money & you're set. Then you can suck in all that underhood heat like a t-sled setup.
If you want the nose cone intakes but want something a bit more replaceable or fixable, there are options out there like using intake bezels, or (what I do) using a bra from an 06 snopro which covers the intakes & also goes over the front hood vents keeping the snow out completely. either of those options cost you minimal $$ (still WAY less than a timbersled) if you're the type that really pounds through the brush.
or you could get the underengineered, over priced timbersled setup, what they have is well made, but it's a step back in that it takes you from an M sled with a cold air intake, back to the ZR chassis where it gets it's air from underhood & also does NOTHING to keep the snow out of the engine compartment.
