Yes, I admit! I was one of the non-believers, until..

While I was driving home from work today I decided to call Joe from Trinity Autosport. I figured he would keep me company while I'm fighting with the heavy traffic So the RPI Scoop came up in our conversation. I asked, what's the scoop about this scoop? I tell ya this guy is so passionate about this particular product that he went on and on about it and here's the great part... offered to install it for me!! Oh, even better, I said, ok I have time right now, without hesitation, his response was, OK!! I can't believe my ears! Customer service galore!!

So it took Joe 10 long minutes to install this beautiful thing. After the installation, he offered to do a little run with me to test the scoop. And 3 to 4 runs later...WOW!! I must say...WOW!! Need I say more?

the RPI scoop takes about almost 1/2 the air that enters through the driver's side kidney grill and directs the air into an inlet tunnel. the tunnel is 90 degrees from the kidney grills, and that tunnel is directly connected to the airbox.
