Scoop works well with your ethos STK, very nice

I reckon if you blacked out/carbon'd the box it would look less conspicuous in your engine bay

Yup, that scoop looks good mate. Good effort

Nice job with the scoop Matt. I was considering one of these the other day, but I've decided to go another route now... Good job ay?

The aerial is a option extra.. Nitin had a catalogue and shows it... iv got digital radio in the car.. so guess it's linked... that or otherwise i got no idea!!

James: I would have a scoop under the car but tbh.. it's too low for it.. i had 2 scoops there before and lost them!!

Thanks guy's about the scoop, its not a perfect fit but i love it.. im glad i've risked cutting the bumper...

Mart: Thanks mate

Merlin: It's just for show at mo mate.. one day i will fit in properly tho... would need to make a metal bracket i guess tho!

looks real cool, wouldnt want to pee on anyones bonfire but is it just me or does anyone else think that with its placing and shape theres a chance this scoop wont scoop, but instead at speed would create a small vacume at the opening.
found this on another honda site
COOL AIR INTAKES

Cool air intakes improve the density of the intake charge becasue for every 11 degrees F(6 degrees C) that you lower the intake air temperature, your rewarded with approximately a 1-percent horsepower increase. Therefore, if your underhood temperatures are in the 165 degrees F(73 degrees C) range and it's 80 degrees F(26 degrees C), you'll get a 7.7 percent increase by ducting outside cool air to the intake. If your running 100 horsepower, that turns into a cool 107.7 horsepower. Free. Cool. Add to that the reduction in pumping losses from a free flowing filter element and it's a potentially a win-win bolt-on.

An NSX gained an extra 7whp on cold air intake.

It would cause a vacuum if it was the other way around, or possibly when Matt reverses

but that's because the ducting would be going "against the grain". As it is at the moment it'll have a ram air effect.

not necessarily, it looks raised to me, if its sitting above the cars surface then it could. got me wanting one now

you dont want to know what the thread said regarding ram air
