Any issues with these in terms of air flow to the intercooler? I see there is a lip at the back on the inside, does this restrict the natural air flow onto the IC? I guess you also get more air as its considerably bigger than the original.

when i upgraded to an sti8 intercooler on my classic i was advised to change to a replica sti8 scoop to get as much air through as possible.

I've put one on mine and it seems to work fine.

but to be honest, I'm considering changing it back as I'm not 100% sure I like it...

Did you fit the STI bonnet undertray, as that will have a big effect on the airflow as it matches the size of the intercooler

yep i bought an sti8 undertray aswell, but its not avery good fit so i cut the air splitter off and am currently in the process of attaching it to my DIY undertray.

I cut the back splitter off mine and it fits under the standard scoop just fine.

nice one, must admit im not to hot on the DIY,

i couldn't get the air splitter to sit that high/proud in the scoop, hence the rework.

I fitted an STi7 scoop to my MY99, I reckon it looks better than the 8.
I put a thread with pics, look at https://www.scoobynet.com/projects-4...highlight=sti8 in projects forum.
Lots of other info out there too.
