- - Suction Hood (https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e53-forum/74349-suction-hood.html)

One of the shops I brought my X to must have forgotten to put my air duct back on after they finished working on it. They said they didn't know what I was talking about, so I'm stuck buying a new one.

I guess I'm not sure exactly where the lower air duct sits (#11 in link below). getbmwparts calls it a lower baffle. Does the suction hood (#13) and the lower air duct (#11) make the actual feed to the airbox or do I only need the suction hood?

Basically, does part 11 sit under the suction hood to make the air inlet or is located under the radiator?

#13 - Suction Hood

#11 - Lower air duct

#11 is under the radiator and has nothing to do with the suction hood or air intake. :thumbup:
