    Yeah, the scoop would have to be upfront (Pontiac style) to get any real airflow....course the supercharger will pull what it needs, you only have to provide the ducting....no ram air needed

    That's right - I posted some images of the CAI in my gallery - you'll see what we did to get outside air into the filter.

    Are you doing the scoop for cosmetic reasons
    or to get air directed under the hood ?
    Everyone has their reasons, just curious.

    I'd like to do mine purely for cosmetic reasons.

    +1 what John said. You could always look at something like the pre- '06 STi scoop, but you will be looking at less frontal road visibility and attention from cops who love people with aftermarket scoops that aren't "legal". Go figure.

    then that opens up your choices quite abit.
    We sell several styles for the Svxs, check out this page
    and see if you see any you like there....
    one or two may look familiar already...
    one or two may be real CF
    the rest are usually paintable abs plastic or simulater
    looking CF

    if you go to the home page of that site too
    youll also see a Vehicross Accessory Only page we are
    building too
