Intake scoops

Intake scoops
I was looking at some rmi scoops online and decided to make a set from .005" thick 6061 sheet aluminum. It seems to make it a lil torquey while moving, from a stop it's hard to tell a difference. I am going to make another set or modify these with the side pieces (like the rmi has), I cut them out, just need to run them by my welders place.

but yeah , they'd probably look the exact same with the side walls on. & for mine I have the RMI sticker, maybe you can add your own.

wont do anything. I ran a straight pipe from the engine to outside and NO air filter and guess what? No difference in 1/4 trap speed or ET. The bottleneck is NOT in the intake on our IS-F. It's in the cats.

I can make them, but I would need to get associated cost together and would post in classifieds. As per others experience posted about any gains it would be a aesthetic mod with no gaurentee of buyers car actually performing better/worse. (This was not posted to initiate interest and/or sales, I am aware of the actions required to sell on the forum.)

Finding the real bottleneck and opening it up will make more power. You can't force air into an engine without some kind of blower. Every thread showing more power on the same car has focused on removing restrictions from the exhaust side. Unless someone has put a restrictor plate on the intake side, there's really nothing you can do to significantly improve power by modifying the intake. It's not the bottleneck in this engine configuration.
