Seminole81 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 So after noticing today with @Fastboy67 @Hudson @david1972 decided to research the scoops as a few of the Blob STi ones looked massive compared to my hawk! Came across that 06/07 STi/WRX scoops are the same. You do not need a new scoop. The reason is that the 06/07 scoop is smaller is that the new front end has different aerodynamic properties, which allows better airflow through a smaller scoop. It is not a stylistic reason or any other. Just thought it'd be helpful for anyone else wondering! 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the differences, my 06/07 scoop has 5 fins in it, @david1972 only had 3 in his blob WRX, and I can't remember what @Hudson or @Fastboy67 had as I just remember theirs being taller.

Hudson Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Don't have any fins in mine as I bought a carbon graphite aftermarket one as the stock plastic one I had actually ha a crack in it I noticed soon after buying my suby so I replaced it. Airflow seems fine and temps all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
