I like this approach: I think keeping the airflow up is the right idea. I put that lower flow one in, and it will sometimes run constantly even in the moderate PNW when ambient room temp is in the upper 70s.

Quoted from hoby1:Not to be a downer ..... but if you are gonna go through all that work plus the fact that cost would most likely be equal why not keep it stock with the correct fitting part.
He actually says why in his first sentence. If you know of an option that does these both and keeps it stock then let us know.
Quoted from mhavoc:I wanted to replace the noisy fan but also maintain the CFM
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Installing an additional fan in a different position that may be blocked by the original fan does not automatically mean better cooling. You need test data. What are the temperatures with the stock fan? What are they with the mod installed? Are they consistently better or worse and under what conditions?
Not sure why you're asking me this stuff, I was just saying he made his motivations clear.
But as long as I'm replying, seems you didn't read his post.
Quoted from mhavoc:the manifold uses a 'dummy' fan frame to replace the original fan
