> [@azndc5er](#): > > The hoodscoop is much less massive… better front fascia aerodynamics? Subaru, through changing the front end, was able to route air towards the scoop better so the larger one used to cool the charge in the 04-05 STi was no longer needed. ---

Yeah they made it small like the 02-03 wrx, the 04 wrx was even bigger than the new one. Subaru just needs to get with the program and go front mount. ---

> [@RobHimself](#): > > Yeah they made it small like the 02-03 wrx, the 04 wrx was even bigger than the new one. Subaru just needs to get with the program and go front mount. One of the dealers I spoke to was poopooing the Evo because it had a front mount. He said that you get cooler air with a top mount because its not picking up heat from the sun beating down on the road. I see some logic there, but what about the sun beating on the hood, and engine heat. ---

I see some logic there, but what about the sun beating on the hood, and engine heat. lol. i think he is an idiot. ever see when they do the smokestream tests in aero tunnels? they hold it right near the road, and most of it goes up over the hood and roof. so you are still getting alot of the same air. however, the idea that the hood will be as hot as the road is not true, because there is a steady supply of cooling air rushing over it, whereas the road the air is not moving nearly as much (just breezes and such) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-better-beater-no-five-six-kay/9025.md?page=3) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/a-better-beater-no-five-six-kay/9025.md?page=5)
