Underhood BLING and performance (splitter and air box)

here are the parts my guy has made.

TMIC splitter. My forester is using a 2008 STI tmic and their is no shroud out to allow the scoop to mate up with the tmic and seal, so I built a ghetto prototype and Vince made this. Vinice is a local buddy who works at a very nice machine shop.

Air box for short ram intake.

I have been doing logs on my air intake temps and even on 30 degree days I an still seeing intake temps in the 90's since I have a short ram intake. I again built a ghetto version of this, did some logs and saw intake temps drop off by 50+ degrees.

The box is still in the works but so far so good. I have to source some rubber to seal the splitter to the hood but overall im very happy with the quality and prices he charged.

More testing on intake temps when I/we get the box to fit perfectly.

All parts are made of .125 aluminum, cnc bent, welded and look great.

I have a FXT sport and I am attaching the opening for the air box to the fender and then via hose to the lower grill for direct air feed.

Here are some installed photos.

Notes. Mt car has an aftermarket gimmick Motorsports turbo inlet, which is a piece of ****. The box was designed for the stock inlet and test fitted on a buddies forester. Those photos will follow later this week. Next, the tmic shroud is not complete either. It will have a rubber seal to seal it to the hood.

Onto the photos
