Front feeding airbox for TigerShark nose
Anyone know of a pre-fab setup to change from a bottom breather to a front breather for a TigerShark nose? Also looking for proper TS brake ducts. Hoping I'm not going to have to fab these.

Thanks Nemesis, I'll drop a note to Lou about the front breather...Never saw anything about ductwork from Starcraft for the TS fascia. The openings are wider and a bit thinner than the stockers. Just want to plug & play without fabbing.

I don't know of a prefab front feed for the Tigershark, but since the air was passing though the tigershark gill (oppps I mean grill 
) and being trapped in front of the radiator shroud (air filter location). I cut slots into the radiator shroud, this allowed the air to pass through the grill and into the radiator. I left the air dam for bottom feed in place, so I don't know if you would have overheatig issues if you removed it.
The radiator shroud is very soft rubber and can easily be cut with a utility knife. I didn't box it in to create an air channel but I don't think it would be too hard.
If you have the Starcraft Tiger Shark I would try to get the brake ducts from a vendor that sells them (to save alot of work). I don't know if they would work if you have the TSversion.

Thanks for the words and contacts fellas. Lg does make a sealed front breather for C6 ,but I'm waiting to hear back from them to see if they make a box specifically for the C5 or if I'll have to mess with the C6 unit...and I didn't know that StarCraft included the ductwork w/ the fascia.They don't mention it or show it in any of their ads. I did by one of their units from WCC,so it should be in there.Will call the body shop & find out.Thanx again, M3

LG's new sealed front breather is for C6 only....it may however be a bolt on for a C5 with Tigershark front fascia....dunno....let us know if you try or LG can give insight into this application.

Don't think the C5 radiator/shroud is the same as the C6. Got a flyer in the email to the guys at LG. I'll let you know what they say.
