Default Top Secret Hood

Well just got my TS hood and i cant put the rainguards on with my Comptech airbox in the way as it hits. So i am gonna need a new intake if i wanna use the rain guard on that side.

Does any1 know from 1st hand experience if either the J'S,Mugen, or the Spoon duct will fit with the hood? I noticed that their is an indention under the hood where the hump of the intakes might fit but i don't wanna throw out money if these are not gonna fit. Also i am running the TS frt bumper and i don't wanna do any cutting of that.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Actually the Mugen intake will fit fine. The Js intake actually rubbed when I test fit and drove with it on for a couple days. The chamber had a small scratch/wear after just two days. It would have gotten worse. But simple solution to that is maybe reposition the Js intake then retry. I didnt. I put my Type V hood back on and no problem.

Cool thx also does Mugen intake sit below in the airdam because i know with the one on the King S2000 it feeds air thru the frt of the Mugen bumper which i don't want to cut. Also JsAP1 is the Mugen snorkel thinner than the J's and does the Mugen 1 require any trimming og the hood or is the cut away that's their sufficent enough.

I believe the Mugen snorkel is a little thicker (having had both). Both Mugen intake versions require you to cut/trim your OEM hood in order for them to fit. Make sure if your using your OEM or CF hoods that you dont drop the hood. You may damage the CF. So I recommend simply clicking the hood down.

I have the same problem with my TS hood rubbing on the Comptech airbox. Still rubs after removing the rain channels. Does anyone know if I will have the same problem with J's hood. Thanks

Here is where the TS bumper needs to be cut:




I will get some better pictures the next time I take the bumper off for a track day.
