So I'm finally getting around to installing the 2014 block off plate on my 2012 RT and have a question for those that have already done it. I'm pretty sure there needs to be more airflow out the bottom, did you drill holes in the bottom, cut a big hole or what?
Thanks

Bob, Yep use right angle drill bit for starter holes, then a dremel cutting bit to connect the holes, Some have fit hole saws on right angle drills in there, I had also removed the right bottom plate and ventilated it, on my '13 the bottom plate needed to stay, maybe on a '12 it doesn't. (The '13 has a filter box down on the bottom plate for crankcase ventilation that is unique to the '13's I believe.)

Thanks, my 2012 has no box at the bottom, the lower plate is not flat and looks like it can't be easily removed, but I certainly can ventilate it.
