Most Pics? *****Look Here*****

I just ran by this. It has to be the biggest photo gallery of our gorgeous car. I know there are many pics missing but I think this is the most I've seen in one spot.

What do you guys think?

I like how most, if not all, of the shots are of the VR.

Beats me, I thought it came up from the grill through a dam into the intake.

AFAIK, there is a valve between the two which opens at higher rpms, allowing more unrestricted air into the intake.

well its actually that the intake COLLECTS there. yyou have the cool air part and the VFAD( Variable Fresh Air Duct) which has a sort of ram air effect when opened. it's tuned to open at certain rpm or throttle positions for better response.
