Hi everyone! New Bullitt owner here! When I began to closely explore what's under the hood, I was very surprised to find the housing that the big air filter sits in is completely closed. With the hood down the only place I can imagine air coming is is a little gap over the driver's side headlight.

How does this thing breath??

The air filter is not completely closed. If you notice carefully, part of the filter shroud overlaps the radiator cover underneath the hood. In which air travels underneath the hood, then up through the intake shroud, and finally a direct path into the air filter.

I suppose you could say, the airbox's shroud design, sort of functions like a mini ram-air setup.

Ah HA! I will have to check that out as soon as I get home. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure that out but obviously missed it. Thank you!
