Help me decide...

I want to put a hood scoop on my car. I am looking at either an 04 Mustang scoop, or an 04 WRX STI scoop. What do you think would look better?

WRX scoop would be WAYYYY too big.. and would look funny...

Mustang scoop... STi scoop is huge, too big for the car...

How bout one from a Rav4 S?

Good idea

Is that the same scoop as the TRD SR-5 Tundras and 4Runners? I'll check it out.
I really like those, but all the ones I've seen are one piece hoods.

I checked it out, it's a one piece. I really can't afford to do that much body work. It would look nice! Looks like the mustang scoop is it.

ask vortex where he got teh roof scoop for his old car... should be the same as a Rav4 or 4Runner... or at least close...

ooh, i found one that's an add on... RAV4 thanks

are you getting it for just looks like kinda what toyrolla had on his red one OR is it for motor cooling purposes?

Just for looks. If I ever go turbo I'll probably cut through my hood.
Well, I found ones that look like the RAV4 and Tundra scoops, BUT they're like $129. The mustang scoop might be a little too big for me. So I think I'm just going to go with a WRX scoop. Not the STI, it is too tall, just the regular one.
I found a really good deal on one.

Sean's toyrolla is a mustang scoop, i was gonn put one on to cool the exhaust on mine since it gets extremely hot but that will come later.

hood scoop

Thats cool. (ehem...)
You're engine is modified?

I won the ebay auction for a WRX scoop. Only $56 shipped. Thats a nice deal for a hood scoop, most scoops go for $70+ shipping and up. There is this mustang scoop I was considering buying. It looks like it is going to be a good deal. It has one minor broken piece that won't show after it's installed.

You sure it's a good idea to cool down the exhaust?
I think you want to keep it as hot as it can.

Yes, hot air flows better then cold ait because its less dense. If anything you should wrap your headersssssssssssss, that would keep the heat in the manifold and out of the engine bay.

my car has no heat shields. the air it uses to cool the exhaust comes up from the front underbody spoiler thingy.(its a piece of metal looks like a spoiler) that is why i never really pushed having a hood scoop on it. and the interior is not hot anymore(down at the bottom next to where your feet rest).

BTW the way the exhaust runners on my car are so freaking' thick it does not need the wrap. all i know is they are very heavy compared to stock.

What did you do to your exhaust? They're not stock?

nope i had them done custom. its mentioned here in other threads.

if the link does not work it on the second page "under best header for 01".

I needed a visual aid.....







man, the WRX hood scoop is gonna be pretty huge on ur car imo...

Yeah the 05+ WRX STi scoops are much taller than the 02-05 WRX scoops.
I got one of the older ones that isn't as high.

the one you got is from the regular turbo model i take it?

Yep, non-STi.

Well I got the scoop today. It's in good condition. I sat it atop the hood and squinted my eyes. It should looks nice. Now to find some time.
