One of the great benefits of our cold air intake kits is the multiple air flow configurations.
Depending on your airflow requirements, you can gain increased airflow by removing the optional box plug. We recommend removing the plug if your vehicle has other performance upgrades. Keep in mind that you are exposing you filter to more dirt and bugs therefore your filter will need to be serviced/changed more often.
We recommend in warmer temperatures to keep the plug installed to keep out excess engine heat.

At what temp should I install the ram air plug?
Wouldn't the fender intake pull in more engine heat than the ram air intake?
Thanks.

I installed on my 2019 Tacoma V-6.

Can we get a temperature range for what is considered to be "warmer temperatures?" Thanks.

Aubrey Chinners,
I got this reply from S & B regarding your same question. Here's what Samuel from S & B told me verBatman:
"Thank you for reaching out, you are correct S & B does consider extreme heat to be anything above 103° or if the week's average is above 100°."

Is there better performance gains by leaving the plug out? Seems pretty tough getting it in after it is installed. Any harm other than frequent cleaning of the filter by leaving it out?
