Shortest didtance with good flow, and a way for to much to get out, OEM hole in fender left open, and you have a great air feed system which is a lot cooler than down low to the ground
Hood Scoop

Dang, this is a good topic. I like what I see, and may have to modify my setup. Though I never have problems getting enough air when I turn left or right too...

Keep me in mind Rob, if I don't go back to work by 2005, I might need a place to crash after I get buzzzzzzzzzzzed

grinomyte, yes it's Photochopped (for now). I have received a lot of interest offline and I think a few guys are going to toy with the idea once the weather warms up. Glad you enjoyed my (incomplete) website.... I really need to add a cool Lightning-only section though.

NateTrun2, where did you buy the scoops and Y-connector? How much?

thanx for the compliments fellas.

BMW, got the scoops and Y from home depot.Look in the Tools" section where they have the big industrial shop vacs. All you need is there. i would buy some black zip ties though and some silicone. The Y is PVC. At first i thought i have this damn heavy PVC. but now im happy i chose it. The tubes have silicone around them attatched to the Y.

Cost me about 50 dollars.
