Tweak, Pressure, Playr - this pic looks just like my IC. The only dimension I know is it's 3" thick. The reason Is I got it on a bad debt from a friend. It's brand new and I'd like to use it on my 5S-FTE but I want to make sure it's gonna be OK. You guys have a lot of knowledge and first hand experience.
 I know a smaller one would be optimal and one this large will probably give me pressure drop but this one was free and I'm sorta strapped for cash with all the other parts I've been getting so... Let me know what your opinions are. Thanks in advance. BTW - Other opinions are wanted too - I just neamed those guys cause they for sure know what's up. --------------------  |

well it still gets air up there, that isn't getting the cold air flow to it....where as the bottom is, so you aren't getting the cooling that you would be if it was open...you could do something similar to the Curren crash bar, where you get to plates and have a literal circular bar running across, which opens up larger surface area.
also are you going to have a body kit or OEM bumper? cause i mean if you're running OEM bumper w/foam + crash bar there will be 0 flow up on the top anyways..but if you have a kit, C-one or modified invader like i had, you would be getting flow that would be getting blocked...
