Default Air deflector/splitter fabrication

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a aluminium/stainless shroud/deflector/splitter type thing made?

I need something for the XR6 to direct air into the intake mouth from behind the grille. Because at the moment, I reckon the flow into the mouth of the snorkel is limited as it just blows to the radiator and oil cooler.

I need it to direct the airflow from behind the grille, up through the large mesh cutout section of the plastic (just below the mouth of the snorkel) so more air flows into the snorkel.

See the photos below to get an idea what I'm talking aboutAny recommendations?

Cheers,
Josh

Yeah. Stelath FX, thinking of taking it off though (afrter spending over $100 in bits and pieces to adapt it), cos it hardly makes a noise on this car, I think the factory boost must be too low.

save yourself time and money (read effort) and budget for what's already been done, check with the big three in the game, decide on that budget and go from there!

pw gear for the xr6t is just awesome, plazmaman looks good but can be a bastard to install and rapid, if pricing is your bottom line then this is the stuff, but its china spec so beware.

I've already changed the airbox and snorkel to the much larger one out of an FG GT/GTP Ramon, so all I need is something to direct the air better to the snorkel opening.

Don't wanna do any other mods just yet, need to get my business going stronger before I outlay anymore bulk cash!!

Go to bunnings and buy a plastic bin. Then cut it in half with a hole in the base. Glue it to the front of the car. Will match that fag BOV
