I dont like it or hate it. I think that hood scoop is most of what is making it look cheap. The fact that it doesn't connect to the hood properly isn't doing it any favors.

The reverse scoop is for some kind of low-pressure air intake thing. Quite a few people I know with front mounts on their Rexes have done it. Still dont get why though...the way I see it, air goes in either way.

#7, cowl induction. high pressure builds at the cowl. the engine compartment has a lower air pressure, so air is almost sucked into the IC

#9, how do you figure that? WRxs come with top mounted IC's. it can do that because of the motors boxer design.

I'm pretty sure #8 has the theory down, but I'm really not seeing the point on a WRX. I'm not sure how the hot air would go from low pressure to high pressure. My thinking is, having the scoop facing either way wouldn't really make a difference to the air being drawn in...but i could be wrong...

#11, engine pic. No top mount, piping for a front mount.
And yeah, I'm a Subaru fanboy.

air would naturally collect there beacause of the cars motion. the air has inertia and doesnt want to move. think of the windsheild like a bulldozer going through sand. and this scoop is like a hole where the sand can go instead of the bulldozer.

#15, But wouldn't air be sucked in anyways if the scoop was facing the front?

#17, yeah, but im sure itd be more detrimental drag wise than a cowl.

#16, He was most likely just building a high scoop to clear the boundary layer of air and to suck cool air right into the intake manifold instead of an TMIC

#19, That kinda makes sense. Still not something I would do though. But other than the dodgy scoop, I'm actually quite liking this car...
