Air scoops

[jefla]

I don't know airflow analysis, but seems the opening would allow considerably less airflow than stock, because it's so much smaller. Don't know about ram air.

For me, it has a bit of a stuck on look to it.

Well...he went back to the drawing board after a suggestion I had...what do you think about these?

At the moment they just primered and simply insert flush into the original vents. Finals will either be this way or total replacements. At the moment the original inner horizontal vents are still in the cars but more than likely be replaced with mesh.

Not feeelin em at all... they remind me of the heater/air-conditioning vents on the ceiling. So far, stock looks better to me...

Is it just me, or are the stock intakes not identical on each side? It seems like one is designed to scoop air, and the other to extract.

I'm not an engineer or physicist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

It's just you. Well maybe not. I seem to recall the shape of the vent on the inside are different on each side. BUT, the driver's side is the one with the airbox & filter so it is most liekly designed to pull more air into it. Most people think that when the fan kicks on and you can hear it on the passenger side that it's extracting hot air, but if you hold up a paper towel, you will see it is actually pulling air into it for more cooling. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.
