Re: Super Sucker Ram Air scoop for the FTRA You can try making a piece that connects to the 3 clips for the botton part of the bumper cover, I'm planning to try once I get mine.

Re: Super Sucker Ram Air scoop for the FTRA I have a super sucker that I bought last year and its still in the box. I havnt had time to install it, also as already posted I dont realy want to drill holes in the front end. But my super sucker is not "bonded" in several places. Is there any way I can fix this, like getting some type of glue and glueing it back together. Thanks.

Re: Super Sucker Ram Air scoop for the FTRA I also agree that Al will take care of you. He is a good guy and has a genuinely good product. I picked up the original Super Sucker when they first came out and I have been very pleased. Just looking at it's design you can tell it has to force external air rather than just make it available to the intake.
As far as durability goes, any front low hanging parts are subject for abuse if the car isn't driven respectfully and will be damaged regardless of what material it's made of.
I have had mine on for about a year with no issues and the car is driven by my wife everyday. If it was easy to break, she would have already destroyed it , trust me. Just don't try any Dukes of Hazard manuevers and you'll be OK.
I had posted the gains that I achieved over my opened up and modified stock hood when I first installed the Super Sucker and they were substantial,especially with my H/C set up in good DA air.
I would highly recommend the lower addition to anyone currently using the FTRA. It does make a difference.
I would recommend adding a bead of epoxy to the internal seam of the plastic bonded areas before installing a SS. It will help form the unit into one solid channel. I also used black RTV to seal the two pieces together. I don't know if it helps , but have it in my head the I have to modify everything I touch, so it makes me feel better. Realisticly, once the air is scooped and forced into the intake channel, it will maintain a positive pressure so the smaller connection gaps upstream offer NO loss in air supply pressure. Especially at 50+ MPH. I hope this helps.
I just wanted to add my .02 to the Super Sucker product and let ya'll know that Al and his product are of quality make. Take care!!!

Re: Super Sucker Ram Air scoop for the FTRA I just placed an order. I have a FTRA and want to give the SSRA extension a try. TXCAMSS is a good friend of mine and he has had really good luck with his Super Sucker ram air. Gotta keep up with the big dogs!
