Can anyone tell me the clear advantages of installing an RPI scoop by itself?

Thanks.

Hmm...hasn't this been answered in a different thread within the last few days?

OP - it may be advisable to search the forum on this topic.

Not sure on the numbers but more HP after 70MPH. It's best to pair it with a BMC or K&N filter though since they are less restictive with the extra airflow (added by the scoop) than stock.

I installed the K&N filter, took out the charcoal, I personally did feel a difference after the charcoal removal.
Just wondering if it is worth my while adding the scoop.
