You might want to check your air intake / snorkel.

[ThreePedalPlow]

I have my front fascia off right now and noticed on the passenger side when Ford installed the front fascia they pinched my air intake / snorkel in a weird manner which I believe would disrupt air flow slightly. My driver side was perfect. You might be able to tell if yours is this way with an inspection camera. I'm not sure you would able to tell with the naked eye with the front fascia still on being most of the intake in the grill is blocked off. Below is how I found it and what it looked like after I fixed it. With the front facia off, I had to remove one clip to adjust it and reinstall it. Another S650 owner in a different online community I follow had the same issue so I'm guessing this is somewhat common.

Fully admitting i haven’t gone out and looked at ours but since i can see the filter in the pic does that mean one may be to see / correct without removing the front clip (fascia)

Yeah, when I upgraded my sway bars, I pulled the stock air boxes and noticed the same issue. Mine was crunched up a bit on the passenger side. It is likely due to the odd angle that the passenger airbox has to be placed in when installed as it doesn't line up on its own. It has to be guided in to seat properly.

Hmm, in the GT's, didn't believe the Pax nostril/snout functional due to the windshield washer tank being there. In the DH's, both nostrils/snouts are functional and fed directly to the air filter cones.

One of mine is like this. You can see it on the GT with everything assembled. It looks like you can fix it from the intake side and not having to pull off the front cover.

 

[JediMindTrix]

This is certainly misaligned. I ended up realigning both of mine when doing my sway bars. Driver side is easy to do with the front cover on but passenger side is much harder to get seated properly.

Yeah, they are both functional on the GTs

You can check from the front grill with a good light source at the right angle. I wonder if is happened on earlier builds. I checked mine all looks good.

I think the DH windshield washer tank is in the same spot as a GT.

Early model (under 500) was fine. Maybe a crew does it one way, another another way.

This video might help line up the air ducts.

Yep, you're correct, I was thinking of the "corner" grills vs. the snorkels, the pax side is closed off, dvr side open for cooling.

It does

 

[decidave8]

Mine is like that as well I’m gonna take out the air box next time I get a chance and realign it

 

[decidave8]

Mine was also like that, I just loosened the air box and was able to reach in and fix it.
