[QUOTE="Bill Koonce, post: 950417, member: 68938"] That might depend on how you define it, but my K&N kit does have hardware that seals the intake from the engine compartment, and makes the path of least resistance the factory cold air port, as well as many louvered slots that lead directly to the front of the grille. Note that the radiator and other heat producing stuff is isolated from this area, so you're getting air that's as cold as reasonably possible. If you really wanted to, you could easily remove the entire plastic panel that separates the filter element from wide open spaces, and possibly gain some ram air effect. However I've decided that it's better to protect the filter (and everything downstream) from rain, rocks, mud, bugs and all the other things that I've found there. [/QUOTE]
