I'm confused, I looked inside the bumper area and the snorkel is in a separate compartment from where the oil cooler is situated. There is a plastic shield sealing off the fresh air snorkel and also acts as an air divertor for the radiators. Are you saying the plastic shield is radiating heat into the snorkel area enough to heat incoming air affecting performance?
