I don't think you will find one. Get the small small Pettit duct. I paid

like $105 for mine. It fits great with a little modification.

The Pettit won't fit perfect but you can trim it. You can use a cordless circular saw for the side but the bottom you should use a dremel/rotozip or maybe a table saw as there is no good way to clamp it down for that cut. You will still have gaps you can McGyver with duct tape or silicone or rubber trim or something.



Greddy does not make a duct as it is intended for the stock duct, which if you have don't ruin it to use the Pettit cause you "won't" get better results and you loose the battery cooling!



You can try finding out if the Knightsports duct will fit, if you can purchase seperately and how much. It looks like it will "without" any trimming. Try asking jt-imports.



I've asked several people and companies to make a duct (fiberglass or carbon) for the Greddy SMIC but was allways told not enough demand.

^ yup, it won't be a perfect fit but neither would the Pettit and that's why it doesn't come with a duct. If you stock ducting is in good shape then don't rip it out. It also cools off the battery (assuming you have the lid) and the A/C thingy with the metal coil deals.



There should also be a rubber matt that tries to block radiator air from the fans and it goes underneath it, then there is a metal shield which I think is supposed to suppress the hole to the crossover pipe if you remove it or it could be for looks. I'm not sure if duct tape will hold but i've seen people use sheet metal screwed over the hole.



I'm using the Pettit duct but only cause the stock one was torn up and cracked with peices broken off. I didn't McGyver the gaps on the side. I'm also using Blitz intakes. It's a much cheaper and easier solution then the oem duct but it's not an upgrade or better solution (imo).

I use the Pettit one. You only have to cut the 1/2in lip of the ic side, to make it fit.

I think it is alot better than the stock one. There is only like...1 1/2 of the ic that is

not covered by the duct, on the battery side. Im going to get some foam and doctor it up some more...one of these days.
