No test. I don't have one and will not get one until I get my ESS tune.

I think the RPI scoop works but only in conjunction with new software.

They beat the drums for this scoop well before ESS was on the scene.
Now that software is available they're beating the drums again.

< than highway speed
Is there really enough air flow to create any additional ram effect?

@ highway speed
We're normally just cruising, so what's the point.

On the street, I'm still not sure what the software is going to do to change that.

I have my scoops and exhaust installed for one week now and yes u dont feel the hole world exploding but u feel something if u pass the 6000rpm it takes more air, i did put it with a BMC sports filter (oiled) a great piece so if u just put the scoops i dont believe it changes much but with the filter u feel a difference once again i dont say u are faster then David Hasseldorf in Baywatch but u feel a little something and yes with the ECU change its better
