Default Ohio forced inductions air to air support setup...

Here are the pics of what the air to air setup is going to be with every air to air kit for the 98-02 f-bodies. We take the support and make it fit around the intercooler. The intercooler in these pics is 4" wide and 21" core. You can go wider if you want a bigger intercooler. This allows you to keep the stock foam support and fog lights (t/a). You can either send us your support or we can get you another one. This will also be available seprate even if you don't buy a turbo kit.







Dont worry bill we still have your support...lol

Looking good. Maybe I should go ahead and upgrade from the twin intercoolers to a single intercooler.

I don't like the idea of 1/2 of the intercooler hiding behind that support.

It will work. The I/C hangs enough under the bumber. The factory holes underneath where the bumber connects to the support are still used. So if you look under the car the bumber goes up grapping the air and pushing it towards the intercooler. The intercooler has gaps on both sides allowing air to flow. If you so concerned about air flow. You can also cut out portions of the support on the front.

if that is the same intercooler that GMR used it's not going to support a 9 second car anyway. I started having serious problems with flow. That ended up being my restriction that little as intercooler. Looks good but don't work worth a crap.

No...its not the same design that they used. Its bigger with different end tank design. That is why its behind the support so you can keep your fog lights. If it was up front ....bye bye lights

I actually like the look of a WS6 with an intercooler behind the front license plate. Might be willing to try her out, given the right price...

I still have my fog lights up there but they aren't hooked up anymore. Will the intercooler have the ability to have 2 inlets and 1 outlet?

I'd have to take alook at it to see where the best routing would be for piping to get it away from the hood latch area.
