Nice write up on the vents and giving more options. I'm still getting around to cleaning my gen3 to take pics. Hopefully your set up and slow all my pm..io

I live in Texas where it's always HOT!.. anyways I noticed my temps dropped alot faster after this install. After taking it up 240 degrees (oil temp) then cruising around to try and get the temps to decline could take 10 minutes, at 65 mph with 3K RPM's almost! After the install with in 2 minutes the temps would start to decline. A cooler motor makes more power especially at 240 degrees. That has to say something!

I just finished up this mod and it was easy but there are a few tips i would add for rookies like me

1. When I attached the flanges to the bumper I used spin nuts on the opposite side of the screw so they won't loosen after time from driving vibrations and they fit way tighter when u use the nut or spin nut to secure the bolt

2. When doing the drivers side, the heater steel lines (I think thats what they are) have a black hard plastic holder that get in the way. Take that off, from what I can see the lines dont need this they were very stable without it. When this is out there is way more room to drill ur holes for that flange. To take that piece off just take the top bolt off then use a reg screw driver to pop the black plastic holder off, it will take some patience cause its locked on top and bottom.

3. I also found it easier to attach the hoses to the flanges on the car 1st then route them where u need them to go, zip tie them up a bit so they dont get in the way of the oil cooler on pass side (fins are very sharp could cut the hose) then attach the other end of the hoses to the bumper lastly.

I havent driven the car to see the difference yet cause its winter here but from my research this mod adds a lot for the $76 I paid in materials. I hope these tips help they are only to guide the guys like me that are new at this and need a lil more help.

Finally got around to this, just ordered the flanges without thinking the tubing was from the same site so I will call tomorrow and add that with my order to avoid 2 shipping charges.

This is always nice to do. Anyone needs two brackets in gloss black to open those holes up for some tubing let me know i got two just sitting around that would be perfect for u guys doin this

Antistupid

Just placed my order too.

Vorttam

Just placed my order as well. OP thank you so much for this right up.

Vorttam

I got my parts in today, is the one the six foot hose going to be long enough for both sides? Or did I miss read the part list and should have ordered two six foot hose?

Bananaz

You should've gotten 2 but i cut mine real short to make it easier for the air to get up there

When you mean you cut yours short, you used three foot for each side? Hate to get everything apart to find out one side is to short.

Bananaz

Yeah I have about 3 feet on each side. It's hard to get the bumper back on because it has to be close to attach both side but it's do-able.
