LOL, to each his own... I like it.... but then again, I like Subaru's which most people consider ugly, so there goes my taste in cars when it comes to aesthetics lol.

True it would take away from the stealth look, but it seems as though it might actually be functional... which I guess is why I don't mind (actually like) the looks of the STI/EVO, yeah, not a lot of pretty, subtle curves, but pretty much everything is functional. That's just me though, I'm an odd guy... although, the more I think about it, if I still had my Speed6, before I would spend $1000 on a hood, I would probably just buy a FMIC instead to combat heat soak... just thought the hood was cool [/b]

you make a good point, although functional, a fmic would be more effective for the $$

I loved the hood when I first bought my speed6 and browsed SUdotcom but the price is redic. and I love the sleeper look the unique car puts out. I would just paint it this is my dream 6 Gotta love carbon looks on reds>>>

... but this scoop would be functional.... if you had experienced the random heat soak events these cars have due to lack of ducting to the TMIC, you might think differently.... but if you don't like the way it looks, meh, whatever floats your boat

That's why FMIC > TMIC! :koolaidman:

Yeah... I agree completely. If this hood was considerably cheaper, I could see more merit in buying it.... but yeah, for the money I would rather just buy a FMIC. Just thought it was a cool looking hood that had some functionality, I guess I just like hoodscoops on cars with TMIC's lol. Note the only manufacturer car that I've owned more than one of is Subaru :lol:

Going from a TMIC to a FMIC you would need some good power mods to even need it. Most cars that are TMIC and then go FMIC get slower with out a bigger turbo like a Subie. A FMIC will take longer to spool the turbo and with that much piping you will lose bost psi.Ther would also be a lose in some of the low end tq. I like the hood alot.

Turbo's are spooled from exhaust gases off of the manifold. Than the compressed air from spooling turbo is sent through the intercooler to "cool" before entering the intake manifold. The I/C piping has nothing to do with turbo spool. Also if the wastegate is set to 10psi you'll have 10psi throughout the whole system.
