Fake scoop

My 1998 subaru legacy gt has a scoop on the front but is only for show and is not hooked up, can they have a filter to the engine

Dude, let me just warn you. You're gona catch some flak for this thread.

 

Heres a link to another thread about half a page down talking about exactly what you want...

Skibob covered it.

 

You could also swap a wrx motor in and it will work haha

subarus have hood scoops?!

join us on the other thread. we're trying to throw together something right now.

if you do get a wrx swap, you want L hood with a Bugeye STI hood scoop

 

around 300$ on ebay/ cheaper if you get the hood from a junkyard,

 

as it cools the intercooler tons better than opening our stock hoodscoop does...

 

unfortunately ours is just for show..

 

Some people have opened theres up and put mesh inside, and i've thought the same.

 

only worries is when it rains if you dont set something up you have it pouring on the engine which isnt a good thing same with snow.

 

 

for looks, you could open it up and throw a air filter in there and bam it looks like you have a intercooler... but then people will just think you cant drive or your car is slow as shiet for turbo

Mine has a fake scoop and a fake turbo...

 

But srsly, I used to have a 96 Legacy L and I always wanted a GT hood.

ya they do look quite nice, my car would look lame without it.. Sorry L drivers =p

 

but for 130$ an L owner could put a sti hood scoop on and even without a turbo that scoops so big it will probably cool down the whole engine bay a bit.

 

 

It would be sweet to have a Tornado filter sitting inside an Sti Hoodscoop getting fresh air if you were without turbo...

STI scoop is WAY overboard on a BD. It would look full blown retarded.

it doesnt look as bad as you think...

 

as a matter of fact, im cutting a hole in my L hood for an sti scoop as we speak

What year of a hood scoop ?

What kind of swap are you running? If the scoop is truly required, well, then that changes everything.

04 i believe..

 

heres an old pic..

im putting in a 20t, but have to wait on my buddy to take it out of his car...

 

so im prepping in the mean time

I wanted to get an 06-07 scoop cause they are not such baby eaters. But hmm. What did you pay for that one?

sti scoop does not look bad.

 

check out the thread

 

"post pictures of your older legacy"

 

theres a silver one with sti scoop, and also a light bar. Looks awesome.

 

with the Gt's pretty huge spoiler it works out well.

too much..

 

it was like $75..

 

but its new + primed so i guess its a tiny bit better

Haha.

 

Ok so everytime I see a post like this; it is followed straight up by someone posting..."warning...you will get flamed/bitched at etc for your question" Regardless of how big of an asshole the first responder could be, they always warn haha.

I need to find a trunk first before I do that. Stupid trunk leaks and I want to find one with a spoiler on it. Eventually paint it black.

theres stock gt spoilers all over the place here.. for like $50 dolla

Need a whole trunk assembly .

i'll keep an eye out
