Great idea, and yes the bottom of the clam shell will fit. I reinstalled the tubing from the front of the car, and reinstalled the bottoms of the intakes.
As an aside, I ran my first autocross in the car today. A little slow to start, but I had that boat sliding around the track on the 5th run. I cut my time by 5 seconds. The intakes sound amazing under full throttle! There was a photographer there, so if they post pics I'll be sure to add them. I can say without a doubt that was the most fun I've had in a car.
No datalogging on the track, but my hope is the dyno is available tomorrow. As long as the curves show a benefit, I plan to send the intakes to badblack to test them on the dragstrip.
I may do a little datalogging tonight, the temp is about the same as the other morning, and I'm curious if the intake bottoms help knock down that temperature under the hood.
