Have you got figures to back up your claims .... I doubt it! .... but seeing as I have one, I can say that there has been absolutely no difference in the fuel consumption or handling of the car since I fitted this!

Should also add that it has been proven that the larger scoop increases airflow to the I/C by over 30% and resulting in intake temperature of 10-12 degrees .... something that the standard scoop is totally incapable of doing, particularly at higher speeds!

 

You probably do get a lower intake temp resulting in more power, but any gain in power is reduced as you've got more drag on the car meaning the engine has got to work harder to push against the air,
Personally I could'nt give a toss I only come on here for a laugh nowerdays!

 

To be honest, im getting to that stage as well!!

 

can still concentrate on the road @ speed.
running apexi fc, it holds the highest reading so you can look at it later
don't sti 5/6/7/8 rear spoilers slow you down ?
it does not stop every man & his dog from fitting them !!

 

I like:

fog covers
front lip
rear spoiler
wheels ok

don't like:

scoop
stickers on mirrors and windscreen
amber bulbs in front indicators
morettes
standard side lights


but thats just me - if we were all the same wouldn't life be boring

 

Not to put too much negativity into this thread but Correct me if i'm wrong, The fastest allowed on british roads is 70mph, Your talk of 130+ seems more than a little irisponsible

 

IMO a case of function over form.

If you are regularly doing those speeds consider a FMIC

 

Yuk, sorry mate

Id rather the stock scoop with a front mount
