This scoop issue is a detail on my car that's been driving me batty.
I picked up a 2nd pair of closed scoops in hopes of having two sets -open and closed. (Even better, solenoid actuated flappers.)
Anyway, I don't want to: 1. Spend big bux on a repro ram-air pan set ($550+) 2. Have semi functional scoops that look correct but ram the air to nowhere 3. Delete my A/C since it is incompatible with the repro pan
It's not rocket science to have some plastic "hoses" that connect from the inlets to an enclosed air filter. Obviously the trick is fabbing something functional and durable to do the job.
