Perfect fit and round edges so the air-flow is maximized. Also, what gap are you talking about with your scoop? Do you have any pics of yours installed? |

Just installed mine today, nice having the day off to take care of these minor mods. Let me first start off saying I bought RPi scoops previously when they were first introduced and for the life of me could not get them to sit, the 2 holes of the scoop wouldn't even come in contact with the existing tubing. I later sold it here hoping someone would have better luck.
Fast forward 2 years and I see the newer interation (v2) for sale on the classifieds so I gave it a shot. The Good: Install was successful and FAR easier than the last time I recall. A 5 min job did take 10 only because I didn't have the right length screwdriver. They werent kidding when they said you needed a long one. None of the ones from my 18pc Craftsman kit could get the last screw. I had to borrow a friends who had something that was 18" long lol. Luckily with the long screwdriver no need to drill new holes, existing worked fine. That red tape you see was put on since it looked like the scoop was rubbing against the bumper. The Bad: I purchased aftermarket matte black grills which were separated so the outer trim could be colormatched. I don't know if the grill is of lesser quality than OEM but the tab must've weakened because after I removed the grill for the scoop install, all 3 tabs on top broke off. Had to get epoxy to glue the pieces together, sorta sucks but whatever. Didn't do any high speed runs so no butt dyno comments (not yet at least) but the ecu had no problem adapting. Others noted an initial stumble but no such thing for me. Last edited by 3002 tii; 04-22-2011 at 12:30 PM.. |

I'm not pissed. Like I've said many times. I try things out, then honestly appraise them. Scoops? Worthless. Can't really say about software. As long as I have a shred of warranty left, I won't be messing with the DME
