Thanks Gary,
I did wonder if anyone would respond as its not an item you see often on road going impreza's.
Is it something you would recommend?

Very good fit, just didn't really suit a silver car IMO
(although i'd have kept it if i'd have had kept with my idea of carbon splitter and spoiler blade)

Thanks for all the links an info guys some interesting options to consider here for sure.
I dont mind taking a chance on one when they are £100 but the RCM ones at £350 are a lot of money if its not your cup of tea when its fitted.
Thanks again

Do they get enough air onto a top TMIC? The time attack cars are front mounted so it doesn't matter about air flow through the bonnet.

Had a good look at the Zen car at JTS last weekend
Anyone done any tests on the scoops as its claimed they reduce under bonnet temps.

Iv not tested any temps but the idea behind a reverse scoop is when your running a fmic, the air is more restricted or slowed by having a huge cooler in the way so the idea is the reverse scoop helps draw air through the bay (the same way a raised bonnet would) the cooler air flowing across the scoop draws the warmer air through + out.
