Its a piece of cake to fit and will help the intercooler get more air through it come summer when its really needed 
The new STi UK has on built into the scoop so it must do something

I bought one of these a year or so back.
The biggest difference seems to be in summer time rather than in winter. In winter there's no difference that I can see so off it goes. I put it back on around April/May time and it certainly helps.

Why on earth take it off in Winter?! If it makes no difference, why not leave it on?! Weird

Hi all,
Just thought you may be interested ....
I am designing a splitter for Sti models with larger intercoolers. I hope to have a prototype made in a week or so and I will post pictures. After that I will sell the items for a small mark up on fabrication costs. All polished stainless sheet ....
Cheers

Another vote of confidence from me too.
Immediately seem to make the car feel smoother, and give a teeny bit more shove across the revs.
Best £25 quid on car-tuning I've ever spent. You only have to look at your intercooler before you fit one, to see where all the airflow used to go...

I made one myself out of some thin aluminium from a DIY shop. Took it off though after speaking to a specialist as they didn't think splitters were up to much.
My mate made one as well (I think), dunno if he rated it any better than without though? Not hard to knock one up yourself.....

See how you are gonna become "MR SCOOB DI bl 
dy Y"
Is there anything you won't do?
Call me and tell me more about this decision changing information you had. Am intrigued as to it's another of these......
"Tell 'em it's good and they'll never know that it makes no difference at all, but we earn a mint outta them" ...type products.
Why don't Subaru fit them as standard? along with a Dawes and better brakes and uprated this that and the other? Eh?

If you email me, by return I will send a photo of a splitter I am testing. A local specialist is also going to test it and measure any reduction in IC temperature.
Cheers all
