Paul -C- Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 I have an Abflug Type 2 bumper on my car and was having a look at the smic yesterday. I noticed that the intake is a few inches behind the bumper and a little to the side. Is there any way to increase the suize of the intake so it matches up properly with the hole in my bumper? What would be the best material to use? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 i would suggest using fibreglass to make a new duct for the IC, it shouldn't be too difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hey, this is one of the things i've been wondering about - posted just a short while ago lol I too have noticed loads of space for better air intake for the SMIC - not sure if it would make a worthwhile difference or not though...

Paul -C- Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'm just wondering if the air is going straight around the intake now that it doesn't match up perfectly with the bumper... It makes sense in my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Can you post any pictures mate? Since it's an aftermarket bumper it's hard to imagine the offset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 But surely the ducting is designed to match up with the hole in the stock bumper perfectly? Right now my ducting sits a few inches behind and a little to the left of my aftermarket bumper. So if air takes the easy way through then surely it will just go around the ducting instead of into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Ok here's a front view: and a side view of inside the bumper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 That's not terribly good, the SMIC ducting is now inferior to that of a stock bumper. On the plus side, you may be able to fit a nice air intake somewhere in the vicinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
