Aftermarket splitter advice

[Noleftist]

This is true. I have an APR CF splitter and to set it up correctly I bought some spacers to get that -1*. I also hard mounted it to the crash beams deleting the need for rods and grafted the brake ducts on.

If you go this route I would not use in conjunction with the OEM belly pan. I would either remove the BP or graft the ducts on if you want to retain that function.

Good luck OP and let me know if you have any questions

Any chance you could show us what you are talking about exactly pictures or videos? What did you use instead of the OEM belly pan? How did you graft on the brake ducts?
I have a 2022 MACH 1 with the handling package.
My two front splitters are highly damaged and of course the belly pan as usual is shattered. I would really like to put stuff on that’s much more durable and much more cost-effective in the long run. I do daily and HPDE in my car.

Also I think my car would be from hood vents. My right side blew off and is gone anyway. I’m thinking about doing the two side vents and then the bigger one in the middle also. Any experience with Race Louvers or Trackspec and all the others as anyone any more durable than the other? Does one make any more sense long-term than another as far as cooling down force and durability?
Thank you.

Aftermarket splitters are not ever going to be more durable than the plastic OEM parts whicj can flex and take a lot of abuse. People destroy aftermarket splitters constantly. The OEM mach 1 parts (and GT350 parts) are nicely engineered for underbody airflow too.

Replacing OEM parts with fresh OEM ones is the way to go if you have issues with bottoming out and breaking things. You have to learn to be much more careful if you’re running custom hand crafted parts not just with scraping but also how you’ve attached them so when/if they do take damage they dont destroy more expensive things you’ve bolted them to. Splitters sort of should sacrifice themselves so the frame or other parts dont take the damage instead.

That said I also want to see 2morrow’s craftsmanship

Try Carter’s Customs in Raleigh. That’s where I bought my splitter for my 16’ he has hood vents too.

You need to learn to take angles or avoid certain areas. Only way an aftermarket splitter survives the abuse youre putting your car through is with an extremely robust chassis mount setup.

Race louvers are wind tunnel tested and they publish the cfd data. I've got AJs bolt on splitter. I've pounded the ever living shit out of that thing on track and it's still as solid as day 1.

I'd question how you are destroying belly pans and splitters. I've hopped kerbs with the best of them, made solid contact, and my splitter nor belly pan has cracked. Hell I don't thing my belly pan has a skuff on it. If you are hitting those things street driving your car, then adding an aftermarket splitter will only make the contact worse.

You got videos of track time where stuff is getting damaged? It might not hurt to have an instructor ride with you, because none of the stock bits should be breaking, and maybe some help on solid lines is all it takes to make the stock parts last.
