Thank you ol' Rick
I search that and come up with 258589 forum responses.....kind of like google.

I was hoping to get an expert opinion without weeding through the extra's that really don't apply to the particular forum.

thanks anyway Rick....

anyone else ...please

This is probably the most informative thread for the APD here:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=76557

Lots of people have been working on air flow theories and reducing IATs, and AFAIK, there has been no definitive consensus on the functionality of this piece except that it is not likely to hurt performance.

I've got one. IMHO, it's in the Can't Hurt, Might Help category.

Sprayed black, it looks nice, and, as others have noted, saves a lot of dropped small parts that otherwise fall in front of the radiator...

I read on it, deceided to build my own.

Does it work? Can't really say it works or it doesn't. Just a piece of mind thing I guess.
