Does anyone have/make a custom air duct for Greddy/Blitz SMIC?

ebay special. If you get some, buy a set of 1/2 way decent couplers. The ones that came with the hardpipes had no reinforcement at all and looked so shempy that I never even tried them.

Got my Blitz installed today. I ended up drilling 2 holes inline with stock mount holes in cross-member. Used nut on other side. Holes I made like 20mm closer toward rear of the car.
With those - I was able to mount IC as stock. I only had to trim airbox cover mount a little. Otherwise it fits good.
I guess there should be special mounts, but I had stock mounts on IC when I got it.

Today it's my turn to wage this little war on SMIC fitment.
I've bolted up my Blitz to the stock intercooler duct, and the thickness of the core prevents the lower mount brackets from lining up with the holes of the crossbeam. When I push and wiggle the ducting as far forward as possible, the brackets still end up nearly an inch out of location. It makes perfect sense considering the core is an inch thicker.
I bought the intercooler used and it came with the same stock brackets and bushings already on it, so I have to assume it fit in another car. (Hopefully they were smart enough to use their ducting)
My FD is a 94, in case that affects things at all.
