Hey I’m planning on getting a complete sr20det front clip and am going to leave everything stock. Now will the intercooler get enough air under the hood or should I get a hoodscoop or something along that line?

i dont believe the smic goes under the hood.  
I think its around the same place the stock resonator is on a KA car.

Will the SMIC get enough air through a pignose bumper? I’m installing mine soon and I noticed there’s no vents or anything there.
