do a search man, lots written about them, you can buy from Trinity autosports. But basically a metal piece you install behind your kidney grill to redirect air into your factory air box.

Hi,
What the scoop does is it RAMS the air into the airbox instead of the airbox sucking in the air....hope this helps...let me know if you are interested in a set and I can ship you out a scoop.
