Hey have you guys heard about that Mazda event at USC on September 11th. They are going to have the new MS3 there.

 

+1
its the best!

 

yeah i got an email today. its next weekend...its like a tailgate party.

 

Yeah man, it was fun.

Ohhhh I can't wait for my new setup to be all ready to go! Makes me mad at JIC whenever I think about it, I wonder how long I'll have to wait!

 

yeah i want to get it done professionally but gotta go around and get quotes

 

i remember you told me before...but whats your new set up gonna be?

 

Nah, professionally done. But, learn from my mistake: Make sure they use high temp paint on the black portion of the scoop (look at my pix to get what I mean) cause it will fade if it isn't high temp.

 

Is it worth having the hood scoop actually "functional" asside from being able to say it works? Seems like it would just create more drag and higher air pressure in the bay. Not exactly directed towards the intake so no ram air effect, just seems like it wouldn't really function for anything. Dunno though, just some input.

 

cooling?

so wouldnt all hood scoops have a negative affect on all cars then?

 

Changed since then

MS intake, RE-Amemiya header, Racing Beat resonator free midpipe, JIC Full TI catback.

Can. Not. Wait.!!!!!!!!

















headcase headcase turn that thing around lets play a game when you hear me make a sound just go quite a bit faster and pretend I'm gagged and bound. Oh how I love to hear that sound....

 

wow! thats gonna quite an exhaust set up!
it's just gonna scream rotary whenever you hear it!

 

the whole scoop is black and what do yo mean high temp paint? they offer that? lol

 

Kinda like raising the back of the hood? heheh jk

 

Most cars with OEM scoops are for intake purposes, typically american muscle (think firebird, old school roadrunner, etc). Cowl vents were also popular for air intake, both scoops and cowls should be for an actual air intake, typically directed towards a carb in old school cars.

Vents work the opposite direction and with a combination of multiple vents following each other air is allowed to escape. Hood tilt works as well, but must be up enough to allow air circulation on the side as well, otherwise it will have a cowl effect.
