Default cooling plate

I recently installed a FIPK and a AUT cooling plate but I installed the FIPK a day earlier then the cooling plate and it sounded better without the plate. After I installed it I felt like the air flow is restricted. I took off the radiator cover so its just the cooling plate infront.

you'll get more flow to the filter with the AUT installed as long as the stock one is removed. That helps air get right to the filter.
You will not see any negatives from having it either.

It's not worth a ton. It looks good and will direct some air at the filter of intakes like the K&N FIPK.
