Ducting and aftermarket bumpers

[chainy]

Not very technical but i never had any replys in chat. Has anyone got any top tips on the best way to duct the airflow from a do luck replica bumper to the standard SMIC. Does it actually need anything even though all the standard ducting has been removed thanks.

There is a thread here with a bit of a how to that you could adopt to meet you own needs:

If you don't duct it you will find it basically doesn't do much at all. You MUST make a proper sealed duct like the OE set up.

Took me hours to make this from expanding foam. Sits between the nosecone and fmic. total seal.

I spent a whole weekend ducting my fmic install. Bumper - intercooler and intercooler - rad.

 

It's hard ducting with a stock bumper properly (mine is still unfinished in terms of cosmetics) and it's potentially easier with an aftermarket one (especially something like a Do-Luck).

 

As far as ducting an aftermarket bumper to a side mount I guess you should be able to cobble something together using a combination of OEM ducting and some expanding foam. Whatever happens - do something and try to seal it completely.
