It does look a little thin though. I wonder if the air shooting out that close to the plenum bottom causes any restrictions for the blower? It looks like it could.

The benefits probably outweigh the possible restriction/little decrease in blower effeciency.

Not at all....there is more than enough clearance between the bottom and the I/C. I just dont like the fact that it is so thin.

I was wondering if the Radix could be disassembled and a spacer put in to allow for a larger intercooler.... That would be something.
