Ok, so I had a weekend to drive my car around with the RPI scoop installed.....
My car feels a whole lot better to drive now! Better throttle response, smoother feeling acceleratation, plus the scoop looks great behind the kidney grills
....and that's with just the scoop. I can't wait for the BMC filter!
So my overall impression on the RPI scoop: Great mod. Can't beat the price. So everyone go do yourselves a favor and start buying these up from Trinity!

Put me on the list for red scoop once they get in.
What the hell's a red scoop.?? What the hell is going on here. First we're sold on an AFE CAI only to find out it reduces hp. Now we're supposed to purchase another product? To do what??? Someone explain to me,... Like I was a five year old.

The scoop is designed to force air into the airbox rather than letting the airbox suck in air. If you have any questions please contact me anytime.
As for the AFE I have taken all their products off my website. I am sorry that I didn't do an independent dyno test...I just took their word for it. Thanks.

Would the RPI scoop work for an 08 LCI 528?
Also would i need 1 or 2 scopps?
