my humble thoughts on this mod.
I did the deck plate mod and drove around with it open for about a week, on and off road, and for me, the only difference I could tell was noise.
I put it back on and had not taken it off in over 2 years.
That said , looking at the design of the air intake in the fender well,,I do think that can be a bottle neck. That said the deck plate mod should be helpful......shouldn't it .
I could be wrong about not feeling any gains and its there if I ever want to try again. Also last winter my fenders were so packed with snow, made me wonder if it is breathing good in that condition ? Maybe I should have opened the deck plate and seen for my self, maybe this winter
However, I do think I felt a difference with resonator box delete, big O gasket, maf and throttle body cleaning and a borla exhaust. ( done months before the deck plate mod)
