Did this last winter huge upgrade in air quality. While you are in there
may as well get the ram air kit from intrepid overland and upgrade the
brake booster to the bigger Audi booster I think it’s a huge upgrade to
braking ability. I have all disc brakes arnd and wasn’t impressed till the
brake booster upgrade now I stop on a dime. To seal the flaps go to the
hardware store and get foam with sticky backing. Get a thin wide foam for
the flaps and a thicker narrow foam to seal the box and around the heater
core. I went to the homedepot.
