Scoops or no scoops? Anyone dyno before/after?

Boostin335 · 11-29-2010, 10:50 AM

Looking around at RPI, Cyba, and a couple other scoops.

#1 are they all designed the same? Cause some are about $40 and some are about $100...

#2... has anyone actually dynoed a before and after? I heard some people say they lvoe them and other say it was a waste and just get the engine bay dirty... any real facts?

FWIW, I would use this setup with a BMS DCI.

I have the M-Force Design scoops. Do they work? I'm pretty sure they do at highway speeds, but don't expect any big gains. You won't really feel a difference.

If it's picking up dust into the engine bay then we can assume it's working...no?

It is going to be hard to dyno a set of scoops as they work at speed. You can't expect night and day performance gains but it is effective with an open air intake.
