The stock intake hole is about 25 percent of the CSL intake hole. No matter where it's pointing, your not going to get enough (forced) air. Period, no matter if it's pointing up, down or to the moon.
Ill need to add that making the oem intake hole in the frame is going to require cutting, and that there is zero space.. were all still looking for a good solution, one that is practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Glad you like my car
