Hood Scoops for a GL?


Recommended Posts

What sort do you want? Do you want it to look good? Original Subaru ones seem to cost an arm and a leg. Just start looking all over then net. After about 3 hours you will probably find one you like.. probably cost $200 too :-\

 

 

Mine was like $15

 

And yes, those are XT6 hub and control arms and stuff

clicky for a link to a post by Tosh with a picture of his wagon... I liked his scoop alot, and it was just made by altering the hood itself... thats honestly about my favorite so far. I liked the cleaner look without the actual scoop there... but i dont know how well it functions. Talk to him i guess, if you like the look, but thats my two bits, and you dont have to buy anything :grin:

ahhh shucks thanks :D I get plenty of airflow over the intercooler especially with my hood spacers but that really just helps out with overall engine temp. I'm sure I could improve efficiency if I put some kind of scoop on it. Although I rather like the look of the looks I get from guy's in WRX's/STI's when I'm tailgating them on the freeway onramp and they are looking over there shoulder with a "whats that on his hood" look.

i just liked the pic, and had no other way of posting it... so since i knew whose car it was anyhow, i figgered id toss out some "props to muh dawg" as it were..... the cowl induction is a nice idea too, but it would be even better if there were fans on the IC making sure that there was a point source of negative pressure right there to encourage all the positive pressure building up aerodynamically in front of the windshield to flow down there... but maybe my conception is flawed and no forced induction is necessary. cowl hood scoops like that other one shown are very common due to the fact that there is more air looking to go somewhere right there, in the front center of the joint between windshiled and hood, than anywhere else on the car. they typically see more air induction than "ram-air" scoops just because the flow pattern is smoother for it to get sucked into the engine bay there than into a scoop just stuck out in front, where the air goes every which way trying to move around the car..
