Anyone fitted RB REVi Air Duct with Genuine MS front bumper?

Hi guys,

I'm interested in buying both the RB REVi Intake system & RB REVi Ram Air Duct.

I have a genuine Mazda Speed front nose and was concerned with the fact that the mouth (grill) of the MS front bumper is lower than that of the OEM front bumper.

How far down does the RB Air Duct reach? I dont want to purchase the item and realise that after installing with my MS bumper that no air will get through to the air duct due to the fact it didn't go down far enough to reach the grill.

Can the Air Duct be adjusted up/down?

Anyone with MS front have the RB airduct installed?

Any help greatly appreciated.

You should be fine. Note in my picture that the duct intake is just below the bumper frame.

No, it can't be adjusted up/down.

I have the bumper w/ duct and it fits perfectly. It doesn't cover the duct at all... Here's a picture of my car with the right lighting so you can see for yourself

I just wanted to add a picture where you can see the top of the duct. As you can see there is plenty of space left between the bumper and the duct.

it will not block anything except for a bit of the airflow into the radiator.

I have it for 2 yrs or so.

You don't actually notice it in normal condition. I think I used the flash on that picture.
