Spokane-Pete Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 See some Outbacks/Legacys have stock hood scoops and some don't. I thought maybe the 6cyls did but then see that many 4cyl do. Was there a particular year that do or don't? Are they fuctional? Wanting to know just to help me identify years and models. Peter S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuBrat84 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Sorry Gnuman but all the subaru's driving around with hood scoops dont have turbo's. I have a 98 Legacy 2.5 GT w/ a hood scoop and no turbo.. the scoop is "functional" as far as letting free air into the engine bay to help keep things "cool" i guess. I don't know when they started putting the scoops on the non-turbo'd soobies.. but they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Any subaru with a hood scoop from 1995 till 2004 that was NOT a WRX has a non-functional hoodscoop. 1991-1994 turbo legacies had scoops. 199?-2005 wrx have scoops that work 2005 Legacies have functional hoodscoops. Although, the 91-94 turbo legacies didnt have an intercooler so they also were kinda non-functional! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumby Boy Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 In OZ if it has a scoop it has a turbo, the old liberties that had water cooled intercooler still had a scoop to direct air to the turbo to keep it cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svxpert Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 <<Although, the 91-94 turbo legacies didnt have an intercooler so they also were kinda non-functional!>> actually is is functional, there is a factory pipe that funnels the air down to cool the turbo.

mattocs Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 1997 - 1999 Outbacks had non-working ones...like the Legacy GT of the same time period. I think those were the years they had them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
