Is there anything behing the bumper that will block the flow of air? I don't seem that it's just as easy as cutting a whole and there u go. I've been wanting to do this cuz I have the hks suction.

As far as I can remember there was nothing blocking it when I took off the front bumper to install my new one....but then again I wasnt looking for this mod
