I've seen these scoops in person, IMHO, they're the cheapest and thinest fiberglass parts ever made.
Very flemsy... perhaps it's made from some high strength fiberglass , but it feels paper thin...

I still can't see how those could ever work as well as our standard style hood scoop.

These are for FMIC and are made to pull hot air out of the engine compartment...not to cool off the TMIC like the normal hood scoop.

Leo,
Regarding your question on how the installation went, I would say, be very careful regarding the "clearance" to "stuff" in the engine compartment area. I ended up having to not use the wire mesh, and I had to trim a bit of the underside away so that my hoses would clear. Of course, I didn't realize that until I had made a number of "heat dents" into the hoses (new ones on order now, live and learn), so I thought I'd share that caveat with you.
GoodFinder :)

Rancid I understand that but i figure that if you left the stock hood scoop on it would still cool the internals better than relying on that thing to "draw" out hot air.
| Rancid | 10-13-2002 11:43 PM |
Its also a drag reduction tool in some ways. Basically, with a hood scoop, you're ramming air into the engine bay by putting a wall in the air flow. With this scoop, theoretically, you're using that same air flow to "push" the hot air out.

Thanks guys!
128d, by ramming air through the oem scoop you prevet colder air to go in throught thr front as there is another entrance of it and only hiting tb/ tranny area. With the Aqua, if uou notice now it raises an then drops, that "lip" creates a vacume sucking hot air even at low speeds. By sucking hot air out, it in a way makes it easier to ram more air through the front of the car, cooling beter the radiator and FMIC.
Hope it clears some doubts!
Now, hope it clears the GReddy piping.
WRX-ellent, any chance you can post pics from the underside and where it hit the hoses?
Thanks
Leo

Sure leo, I can post some pics tomorrow when I take 'em. But I got to tell you, my scoop doesn't hit any hoses and/or piping. I have the Blitz FMIC and it clears the pipes just fine...

When you drive in the rain with a stock scoop, water enters the scoop and drips down on the intercooler, then on all the stuff underneath, which is mostly turbo, heat shields, and downpipe. None of that stuff is harmed by a little water.
It'll be the same with the reverse scoop, although a bit more water would enter there when the car is parked in the rain.

I'm sure you could. Since my bodyshop guy had to do A LOT of sanding and resanding to make the scoop fit nicely. I'm sure any bodyshop guy can mold the scoop to fit on a GC8 hood...
