ROTFLMAO to OZs last comment.. wow, wasnt expecting that.. funny stuff..
anyway, bring anyone in here that has a HUGGGE background in cars, performance, even CAI experts, and they will agree that it DOES make a difference.. you dont have to FEEL it, for it to have made a difference..
splash guard is not air tight, whats ur point, lol
im not blowing smoke up anyones ass.
ok do an experiment, get a piece of cardboard, throw it in front of a reg. floor fan. the floor fan will act is the air resistance.. basically the air being pushed into your intake.. cut a small hole in the cardboard (your bumper) how much air comes thru? not much.. now cut a bigger hole in the cardboard.. more air???? well of course... if there was an intake behind the cardboard, it would be getting more air, would it not? maybe its a bad comparison, but it makes sense, and maybe you can understand it this way..
not trying to harp on neone, just trying to get the theory across. smile.gif

I kinda like it. How did you cut it? It got me thinking....
What if you used one of the NACA ducts, but put the hole and the duct on the splashguard underneath the bumper. You'll be getting more air into that area WHILE not having to cut into the bumper! I may definately look into this. You guys think this would work just as well???

Has anyone seen street cars that push good power at the track? They ussually place the filter inbehind a headlight or foglight and remove it when they go to the track. A local dsm actually dynoed the diffence because we didnt believe him. Mind you we had around 3 fans going into his removed whole from the headlight but it got him roughly ~ 4 whp at the wheels. He's also boosted and runs high low 12's at the track so you wont see a 4whp gain from your setup but it is proven to be more efficient.

^^ I put masking tape on the bumper then drew the scoop design straight onto the tape with a black marker. When I was happy with the design, I got a power drill & drilled holes all around the edges of the design, prolly a couple of mm from the design's edges. Drill enough holes & the unwanted piece of bumper eventually separates. Then I simply filed the edges right down to the marked lines on the tape. I used a couple of different files.
I guess the NACA duct placed underneath the bumper would also work but I'd be worried about feeding water right to the filter.
Anyway, I decided that I was happy with the shape & size of my scoop so earlier today I meshed it up with some black grill-mesh...
I might do something else to it one day but for now I'm happy with it.
