Down Force intake Scoop.. Wow!

Re: Down Force intake SCOOP..WOW!!

I just installed mine last night and the wheel liner won't fit as before, there is a gap by the air vent. Does anyone else have this problem? Will post picture later...

I installed this on an 04 NSX. When I first put the liner back on, it was easy to put the liner in and end up with gaps. I checked the other side of the car where the liner had never been removed since leaving the factory and there are actually minor gaps.

If you loosen the screws and have someone position the liner to where the edges do not have a gap, then tighten the screws up, you can end up with a better fit than what the car came with from the factory. The key is you need 2 people to do this, one to tighten the screws and one to position the liner. It might take a little playing around with positioning and screw sequence to accomplish this.

I just got mine last weekend and installed. I must say it is a good product, the fiberglass work is real good, except I thought it would make more sense if the smooth side was on the inside of the scoop rather than the outside. I guess it's a minor flaw and I doubt there is any performance gain if it were this way. Otherwise I'm a very happy customer.

Hey Adrian,

Did it help to minimize that mysterious power lag when you hit the gas pedal?

Good advice. It is worth the extra $$ to complete the package.

You really need to take a few minutes and read the whole thread. You are asking questions that are all answered in the thread, but the answer to this one is no, they are no longer $100.00

Re: Down Force intake SCOOP..WOW!!

Got my scoop this week and installed it today. Here are my impressions. (in case anybody still reads this 6 page post )

First of all, I already had the uni filter and was running stock intake but with the resonator pipe removed. (having sealed that end of the intake.)

So, with huge expectations after reading about the scoop for a while, I took her for a drive. Tell you the truth, I was a little dissapointed. The sound changed a little from before, but only slightly. Power boost I could not really tell, but 5 hp could be just about right if the dyno says so. Have to do some more driving.

I like the sound, it's just that my old setup with the uni filter and resonator removed, gave 80% of the sound. So now you all know how to get this sound for less $$. If you go scoop pluss uni at the same time, I guess the difference is a lot bigger.

I was considering getting the Downforce scoop and was reviewing past threads about it. When I came across the post quoted above, I decided to simply remove my resonator and see what difference it would make. Although I've not ridden in a car with the Downforce scoop, I think BITeR got it right - this is a definite improvement subjectively, and free to boot. My car is a 92 and has CTSC/h/e/stock airbox/UNI filter. It's not just my imagination, along with louder induction sounds, the SC whine (and unfortunately the slight SC rattle at idle) is more pronounced.

Also, and this REALLY surprised me, the car seems more responsive and free-reving, although I'm sure this is simply a pyschological effect. But, to a large extent, perception is reality. I won't put the resonator back unless someone has a valid reason why it needs to be there.

Other than getting my car on jackstands and the wheel removed, this was a simple 15 minute modification.

Re: Down Force intake SCOOP..WOW!!

I guess that is ok, but I feel like the scoop does just that, it SCOOPS the air more directly into the cold air box. I love mine and was very impressed with the end result. Your way is certainly less $$.
