Would get much more air especially if we could find a way to deflect and funnel the air into the intake. I did something similiar with my firehawk, i removed the grills on my ram air hood. And i did notice a tad bit difference. Just wondering if anyone have done this or tried it. Also I noticed this car runs off a y-pipe are there any high flow or off-road y-pipes available yet?
I don't know about removing the front grill, but I'm interested to see if it can be done and what it looks like

About the Y pipe.. I don't own a crossfire(yet) so I don't know exactly what the setup is, but a good shop can make a custom H or X (true duals) which may help. Now, I don't know HOW bottlenecked the exhaust is.. If its a Y pipe and it only really needs a Y pipe, then you won't get too much horsepower and torque will be reduced.. but if its restrictive, you could pickup alot of horsepower.
