ha, i got your attention. now i don't know much about most other subies, but can you just take off a scoop from a wrecked forester or something? i would think that it's maybe bolt on, but you never know...but i also suppose that of it were that easy, everyone would be doing it, right?

check this out farclein weird, but strangely badass now what i wanna know is, can a hood scoop just be a "hole in the hood"(figuratively speaking), or do you have to do shit like this for it to work properly?

it can just be a hole in the hood the only reason there is ducting is to ram air through the inter cooler. the justy hood is only about "1 above the plentum it will directly cool the plentum and blow cool air over the back of the engine

check this out farclein weird, but strangely badass That hoodscoop was built out of a piece of hot rolled steel, it almost was made from a baking sheet as available material until the hot rolled steel came along. It was formed over a picnic table as a break and my knee. The cone filter is attached to the engine with a home made bracket and ductwork, but after replacing the turbo motor(cracked heads) with acarbureted one, the cone filter was just a dummy clamped down to a piece of exhaust pipe used to make a collar welded to a throttle cable bracket bolted down to the power steering pump. Totally ill, but it looked cool. I would think it would be too easy to make a shaker style hoodscoop for the ol' subarus. In the older models, the spare tire went where the intercooler goes. I once had the idea of installing larger tires, and therefore a larger spare under the hood, and the hood cut out to accommodate the 'shaker spare tire'
