Do these little bonnet vents work I was thinking of getting one for the cone filter

Took mine off,my abs means I have to run the cone directly below the vent,car wasn't happy when it rained,Im going abs delete so might refit for extra airflow :wonder:

Are you deleting the abs ?

Had mine well over a year,not had chance to fit yet,I've taken the car off the road now so I'll be doing it before I start using it again.
Awful system is the Subaru abs!
Is it pretty straight forward to do Rick?

Easy job mate.i did mine in work on a Saturday morning. Basically just two T pieces find a good spot to mount them .The two pipes from master cylinder go into the top of each T Piece then plug fronts in to one T Piece And the backs in the other. mine was a bit of a rushed job its my daily driver and had mot day after at work.

Don't you have covers over your vents?

should be ok now? Are they really that good for airflow

ossett2k2 04 May 2018 05:31 PM

Pretty sure they don't do much tbh,I think a proper cold air feed is needed to benefit.
Maybe they might help get rid of some heat from under the bonnet but even then I'm not sure you would gain much/anything?
Plus I'm fmic so heat soak isn't a problem.

I was thinking of getting one but if it doesn't do anything I won't get one

Yeh don't think I'll fit mine back on,prefer the look of the standard ones now.

They look crap imo. If you want cold air flow, do it either from fog light with a tube coming out of inner wing or morrette light intake etc
