WRX hoodscoop on SVX

rob_4187 · #1 01-18-2005, 12:42 PM

I am finding alot of STI hoods on ebay and most sell for under $100. Would this fit the SVX hood and be able to be made functional? I need to buy a scoop and prefer a functional one because i shut my hood on a valve separater and punctured the hood in the middle

If anyone has advice or wants to sell me one for cheap let me know

Here's the scoop STI hood scoop

that link is for a splitter that goes inside a WRX hoodscoop to more efficiently distribute to air to the intercooler - the hoodscoop is not included.

there are SVX hoods w/hoodscoops at Motorsports Warehouse with the older Legacy-style scoop, which fits the SVX better appearance-wise, IMHO. you could go to a bunch of trouble making it functional, but the SVX airbox already works pretty well, so you probably wouldn't gain much, if anything.

I know the auction was for the splitter, i just put it on cuz it had a pic of the scoop. I saw the hoods but they are out of my price range right now. I have a cone filter in place of the airbox (not a good idea) but i cant find the airbox to put the old one back on. I want to put a hood scoop on but i prefer a functioning one.
