Do I use the cold air box with the S@B intake?
I just bought a used S and B intake with the cold air box, would i be better of not using the air box? Also, it uses the 90 coming off the turbo, do I leave the white plastic vanes inside or not? Thanks

I would suggest not to their supposed to help direct the air flow the only part that restricts a lot is the center plastic section with the sound baffling. According to laminar flow that bend would cause a lot of restriction without those vanes.

I figured the vane should stay, but what about the air box?
