I live in Strongsville, Ohio. A State trooper stopped me on the turnpike.
Gave me a ticket $75.00. Ohio is the worst. For all you Ohio drivers, my friend and I are working on to hide the front plate out of site until you need it. It will pop out and up if you see a cop.

Have you come up with some kind of front plate bracket yet ?
Something that can be made to go up or dawn as needed... like the spring loaded fuel cap cover that houses the license plate on the rear of some older cars perhaps... just an idea...

ram air
Ive ben running mine around northern ohio for the last 2 years with no front plate --no hassels yet---. I do keep the front plate on the dash when im driving around. I personally think that its a great system.

I have the bigmouth, and the SLP is shipping as we speak.
Judging by how much faster the bigmouth cools off the radiator, its getting a ton of air.
The bad thing about the SLP, is at low speeds, you're pulling hot radiator air into the motor. I wouldn't do the mod without the bigmouth.

I had a BPP Vortex and the thing warped and cracked all over the place, a quality piece it is not! I have to wonder if it was doing more harm than good. The ID of the round part where the filter slips on measured only 3 1/8in. which is much less area than my throttle body openings. The idea of the Vortex is good but the execution leaves much to be desired. I'm hoping Vararam comes through with something worthwhile, till then I'll stick with my cut lid.
