Hey guys,
I bought a used WASP front splitter and it comes with the front frame rail mounts, and the support rods. When i research it seems most people just use the frame rail mounts, is that enough for track application? The splitter i got sticks out about 3". I did try to message Bryan wasp but he might be been busy to reply. Before i go to my first track day with the splitter i want it to be mounted properly. Just wanted to get your guys ideas and experiences.

Thank you for your time.

Ur going to want support rods. I was ok without them for a while, but it deprecated from the bumper at 110mph, and I thought my wheel broke lol. Didn't come apart, just would let air under the bumper and flap up and down.

Thanks, that's the kind of info i wanted to know. Your suggesting on the front


I was thinking about the sides, i thought there would not be enough support causing like a fluttering from lack of stability.


I know a lot of people buy the splitters for cosmetic. That's why i posted in the racing and competition forum. "Real use and abuse".

Appreciate your input

Here is what I did to fix the issue. The cable is really strong, and if I bottom out, the splitter can flex upward.

Thank you for the visual aids. Cool tire spats too

I really like the cable idea. Nice.

I've built a few splitters out of aluminum and alumilite, they have all stuck out 2-4" passed the bumper. None have required support rods.

Mind you, the splitters I built mounted to the factory bumper holes, so the gap between the bumper and splitter was pretty non-existent. If the wasp doesn't mount to the front bumper, I'd drill holes into it so it could. The bumper offers a lot of additional support on the splitter.

Thanks guys. I can easily stand on the splitter. Best part, it can all be bought from the local hardware store!

What did you use to make the 'fence' on the side of the splitter (front tires). Or is that part of the splitter package (purchased)?
