R-Magic oil cooler ducts with Sakebomb dual oil coolers on a 99 spec bumper?

Has anyone tried these to see if the work? I've got the 19 row SBG kit with a OEM 99 bumper. What have you guys done?

I'm sure it will work or at most you'll need to shave a bit off the oil cooler duct. I'm not sure how thick the SBG kit is but i'm sure it will work fine with very minor modifications on the duct side if any.

The R-Magic ones bolt on at the top and bottom of the OEM coolers, using original screw holes. There is nothing holding them in place other than the bolts on the actual oil cooler.
So with a non-oem set of coolers, i would guess that you need to cut it, and makethe last 5cm yourself in fiberglass

I have the r magic ducts with my sake bomb coolers and 99spec bumper.

No mods necessary. It telescopes around the 99spec oil cooler opening essentially making it "adjustable". I added a rubber high temp seal around the edges from mcmaster as it presses against the coolers. This prevents it from moving and I never needed to actually mount them. They pretty stable and look oem.

Nice! This is exactly what I was looking for! Mind if I ask what seal you bought? https://www.mcmaster.com/#high-tempe...seals/=1c7wwsa ?
