I dont think it would be exact. I think it might be a little too wide. I dont have a greddy SMIC to test it on. I could probably make one for it though if a bunch of people needed one.

Sean, I really like what you came up with. It looks like it will fit well. Is it molded? Very smooth shape and looks almost OEM.

Thank you. It was hand laid out of trial and error. :) I have a Fluidyne radiator so this duct will definately fit with the stock one or any aftermarket radiator. :bigthumb:

I have one and it works great the drop in is a little harder than they say though there is a brace for your stock air box that you will need to cut or remove i have mine shaved down, the inter cooler works great and is huge i mean it is like having three of the stoks running in tandum. let me know if you want some pictures i have a bunch or if you have any questions let me know last thing the hardware that is included is outstanding the hoses are all reinforced long sleeve and the hose clamps are thick and sturdy

a lot better than mine. no its really nice, what is it made from? Sean looks like you did your homework. you thinking about making these? how much if you are?

TwinTurbo_SE7EN 10-20-05 09:20 PM

Those pictures do not show the 2 radiator and IC seals that will come on it.

core dimention is 12x12. I could make one for 18x12 as long as it is mounted the same way as the xspower IC.

oops i mean the seals

TwinTurbo_SE7EN 10-20-05 10:46 PM

I dont have any with the seals on it. If I put them on, I will just have to take them back off since I am using my duct as the mold.

TwinTurbo_SE7EN 10-20-05 10:49 PM

if you want to send me a picture of your setup installed, I can tell you if I will be able to make you a duct. :)

TwinTurbo_SE7EN 10-20-05 11:17 PM

PM sent.

TwinTurbo_SE7EN 10-21-05 05:51 PM

Got a couple more pictures of it "installed". Again, these pictures dont show the seal for the IC core or the seal for the radiator/front bumper. they will be included and installed on the duct.

For those interested, I should have a group buy thread started as soon as I get admin approval.

Thanks.
