Just as airscape, I am lowered and there is only so much room under there, couple that with the way snow piles in the middle of the road because of tire ruts, and it could spell disaster. Is Corky going to fabricate some kind of shield, even if it is an 'add on' to the kit? I think this is a good idea and even those never seeing snow may be onboard for aero benefits more than anything else...
Probably being overly paranoid, but it is certainly in the realm of possibility.
Well my car as one of the two that Corky put on the rack and measured. my car is lowered and a little extra low in the front thanks to a V8. We were satisfied that we had clearance. The charge pipe will most likely be retangular and thin. If it is one inch, it will not actually lose an inch of ground clearance because other stuff is all ready hangiing a little lower than the belly pan. Make sense? Maybe add a piece of steel under the front end to act as a snow plow?
It will also be very sturdy and more sturdy than the typical round pipe. As far as I have been told the charge pipe will be aluminum and exhaust mods will be stainless.
