Or are you saying it may help vent under hood temps?

Yes only remove if you have a CAI it’s the factory ducting to the airboxNo sled yet, which is why I was asking.
Isnt that where the air filter pulls air from the frog skins on top hood?
Are you saying remove all that AFTER you have a CAI?

Thats how I read it, so now that he posted pics I totally get it.Or are you saying it may help vent under hood temps?
If that all can be removed, and bet its alot weight removed too...I would be all over that once Im running a CAI for good.

Diesel, did you find it helps? I removed mine after I installed my CAI (in March of this year after the snow was gone) but haven't rode with it like this, was thinking the same thing but wasn't certain it would help.Yes only remove if you have a CAI it’s the factory ducting to the airbox

Help with what?Diesel, did you find it helps? I removed mine after I installed my CAI (in March of this year after the snow was gone) but haven't rode with it like this, was thinking the same thing but wasn't certain it would help.
I think it would be just to save some weight correct?
Anyone weigh this section once removed?

It doesn't weigh much, I think it will help as it opens the vents more and opens up the area under the hood slightly.
Definitely won't hurt to remove if you have a CAI.

Dan, I removed it hoping it helps evacuate heat a little more.

No sled here yet, so does it attach by bolts ect? No chopping or hacking correct?
If its a simple unbolt/unscrew it and remove, sure more room under hood helps air flow, and no need if we run CAI. Maybe some room for a spare belt clip too..lol
