What would be the purpose of the small opening on the Mugen DC5R bumper and the veilside as well as other swith a similiar design.

Am I crazy is this not some attempt to get a mild ramair/coldair induction?



Some guy on the"clubrsx" board is trying to tell me that it's to compesate for the stock grill opening?

I've gotta assume it's for a Mugen cold airbox assembly. Doesn't the filter sit more toward the firewall?

 

Simple: It help cools the engine bay. Almost nothing to do with the intake since its a cold air setup.

 

Actually it is a ram air type set up of sorts. The air goes through that inlet, then through some curves,etc before hitting the filter inside.

 

Actually, it it one of those "deer whistles". It creates an inaudible whine so deer run away before getting hit by a car.

sorry, couldn't resist.

 

I knew it had a purpose!

 

Do those deer whistle things really work? I was thinking about getting one back when I lived in Oregon...

 

hmm rsx forum post

 

No lol was a big report on those awhile ago, it said that it made difference in collisions at all.

 

if you're talking about the two larger "ducts"...they're actually vents to allow air to escape through the hood. when a car runs a splitter, the whole bottom of the engine compartment is covered so you have to find another way to vent all of that trapped air out of the engine compartment. mugen does this through a vented hood.

EDIT...i should've read the post more carefully...i thought you were talking about the hood and not the bumper.

hmm, looks like an Integra Type R to me

 

Yes they do, all the sherriffs here have them. The whistle is unbearable to them (Enough to break them out of the "headlight trance!)

 

Its for CAI

 

Oooohhh...he got ya there.
