Default Air Intake - better feed..

Hi there,

Just seen this picture posted elsewhere, which is funny as I was talking to a friend yesterdau about how to increase the airflow to the airbox and I said the logical thing for Subaru to have done was to make a bigger gap at the front of the bonnet/grille.

Well this picture says it all. Looks like the front grille can be changed to accomodate a nice big gap/feed to the air intake.

Anyone know if this grille can be sourced in the UK ?



Or should I contact ESX in the states ?

It would be mutch better to make some kind of feed either side of the FMIC which is what i am doing. The airflow there is far greater pressure. The intake there is in a low pressure zone. It can be good but to get the coolest highest pressure flow lower would be better.

I am really suprised there is no specialist company over here with a cold air intake for scoobs etc..

does no-one produce a "wing grilled" air intake... like the VW's can have?
