Hood scoop, ram air, intake. Options

[Paethon]

Ok guys, just wondering if I could get some input. I was thinking about adding a functional hood scoop with ram air to my celi.... Weapon R has a ram air kit for around 85 bucks, although I believe I could make one myself for a fraction of that. As far as money goes, I dont plan on spending any more than it takes to buy the intake + ram kit, scoop, and do the repainting of the hood. Just thought it might be an interesting mod ... whatta ya think?

hey man, hate to break it, but on a celica, GT or ST, you really won't get a hell of a gain from doing somethin like that...it'd be neat, and original, but, as far as HP per $, you're not gonna see anything. you're just as well goin w/ a DYI CAI or short ram...just think of all the money you'd spend on the kit, the hood scoop, the body work, and the paint...then, you'll get like...4-5hp. hehe

Have you ever hooked up a true ram air system???

You will see alot more than 4-5 hp!

Try more like 20-30+hp depending on your application and the brands you use.

edit: and I wouldn't go with a hood scoop... I would use an area on the front bumper...
