Re: [T3] Side Scoops/Front Scoops


>>Are Side Scoops/Front Scoops worth getting?
No.  Unless you want the odd look...

>>Do side scoops add any cooling value?
No.  The fan pulls in a large volume of air through those louvers.  You will reduce the area through which air is pulled if you put those scoops on.  

>>Do front scoops add significant air flow to inside vents?
No.  The cowl vents are in a high-pressure area already (observe what happens when water is splashed on the windshield at speed.  In the lower 1/3 of the pane, the water beads are actually pushed DOWNward, toward the vents, by the wind.)
