Default Super Sucker scoops for FTRA or SLP CAI kits?

For those that recently bought them from LM Performance, how do you like them? I just sent out 10 to LM Performance last week.

Al, mine fit like a glove!! It is so much better than the bottom ftra plate its not even funny. The scoop dont come near the radiator, so there are ABSOLUTELY NO COOLING ISSUES, the sotp difference over 30mph is huge, and the quality of the build is outstanding. Um, can you tell I like it...lol Victor
ps, 3 people comented how cool it looks!!!

What are you guys talking about?
They are talking about the SSRA addition that is now available for SLP and other CAI kits. It is an extension to ex. SLP's CAI kit that sticks below the radiator and thus gets a direct ramming affect of air(i.e. Super Sucker). The guy who started the thread obviously makes them or has something to do with them and is looking for feed back. I do not own one yet but seeing as how 75 is not too much I think that I just might soon . CAI kits are fine but RAM AIR kits are better!

Here is a link

I have the SLP CAI, but does attaching this new peice help water and more debris get in? How far down does this sucker scoop come down? Any photos of it installed? Does the new piece just attached to my current SLP CAI? Thanks

The scoop sits 7 1/2 inches above the ground. Your air dam is about about 4 inches off the ground.

For pictures, do a search from a previous thread dated around August 16th. The thread title is Super Sucker for FTRA. If anybody can transfer these pictures I'd appreciate it. I'm not that computer smart.

There's a slightly larger chance of ingesting water. I've had my SSRA on for a year and a half. I've never used a block off plate, or put foam in the scoop to block off water. Unless you drive through a 8 inch puddle or deeper, you should be fine.

UnstableVic, thanks for the compliment.

This is a extension of my FTRA, correct? Does it bolt onto end of the FTRA down near air dam? Must a hole be cut in the air dam? Pics and install instructions of this piece would be great....

Also, is this piece made of plastic, stainless steel, aluminum, etc? How much does it weigh? Thanks.

It slides into the FTRA from the bottom just like the SSRA works. You then screw the scoop to the bottom of the front bumper. Go to LM Performances website for pics, or do a search like I said for a previous post about the addon scoop for FTRA. It is made of aluminum. The weight is about 4lbs. Someone please attach pics.
