^ yes, it directs air flow into the factory front air snorkel ...which you still kept even when you put on the Injen

If these scoops do what they are intended to, will they yield better results when paired with an aftermarket intake? just curious since I have ordered the scoops, but have stock intake.

You are absolutely right.

well designed aftermarket intakes will be able to better utilize the higher volume of air that RMI Scoops will be delivering to the snorkel.

the factory air filter has a significantly smaller surface area through which air may pass, by installing an aftermarket intake system, you dramatically increase the amount of air that can be cleaned and put through the intake piping at any given moment

with the scoops delivering a larger volume of air, it will work hand in hand with the higher cleaning capacity of the an aftermarket intake



in other words: Aftermarket intake + ISS Forged RMI Scoops = MOAR POWER!!

Nope the horn stays in its same place, the only thing you have to do is unbolt it, flip it around, and bolt it back up

I'm going to try these out.
Just made an order request.

I can't really gauge the size based on the pictures but is there any chance these will have a negative effect on radiator airflow?

I was also wondering that.

Does anyone have a pic of the colored ones from further back, to see how the color looks behind the grill? I am thinking about blue, but dont really want it too loud, so maybe black..

i doubt these will affect airflow to the radiator

the bulk of air for the rad is coming from the lower grill
