Installing my Nismo intake today, I decided to go w/a short ram setup. I did not go w/the water bypass pipe. Right after the MAF, I put the intake cone in...any thoughts/ideas/concerns on this?

 

This might sound kind of dumb, but the reason I went w/a short ram setup is because when I was installing the water bypass pipe going down toward the grille, I noticed that there was no actual space where air could flow in, without me removing part of the bumper...so to speak. Anyways, I felt around and saw that there was styrofoam between my intake cone and the grille. I didn't want to mess with it so I just went for the short ram...any thoughts on this from other cold air intake owners?
