They are a great bit of kit makes a GU look a tad tougher.
I have had one for a few years now.
The extra vanes underneath allow air to be directed to the front of the IC
You'll find it allows your scoop to cool the IC at a lower
speed say 60kph compared to the STD scoop at 85kph.
No need for a fan IMO unless you do a lot of sand driving.
Big scoop big price eh lol

I love mine too.
Love the look.

Yep. I had the ARE scoop on mine. Looks tough and worked very well. But the price is a bit over the top considering i bought a Fairline scoop which is twice the size and $200 cheaper.
But it is a very effective scoop no doubt.

So far have noticed between 50 and 100 degrees of difference in the EGTs. When cruising at 60KMH it sits around 250 degrees, when cruising in the highway at 100 KMH it never goes over 300 degrees, it reaches around the 400 degrees mark when leaving 4th gear constant on slight sloped hills but cools down very quick.

As the others said, a bit expensive. A.R.E is now selling the aggressive scoop in $618 and the stealth version in $588. I haven't upgraded the intercooler though, it's in pretty good shape still.

Straight forward to install. recommend to just rest the scoop on the bonnet holes without removing the sealing foam tape in case there are any misalignments.

what is the difference just the height??

The aggressive scoop is what you have John. The other one slopes back toward the windscreen. Same in height i think. I bought mine a while back from Guests 4x4 for $550 just for reference.

Thanks Mark very happy with mine, in conjunction with a Tigged intercooler
they make a great combo, Highly recommend to anyone wishing to lower
their EGTs,

FYI I brought mine from Guests 4wd centre as well Give David, Mick or Peter a bell
They'll sort you out for sure.03 9497 3899

Yeah the aggressive scoop is quite effective but it comes at a higher cost too unfortunately.
To be honest i really never thought much about the cost of the ARE until i bought the Fairline scoop which is twice the size and over $200 cheaper.

Agree 100% if Id seen the above I would not have brought it,
Looks like there was a problem so they cut them down to sell them.
Not my prob I have mine and very happy

[Bloodyaussie]

Mudski was shocked when I told him I think they look shit.... but as I said to him that is a matter of taste and my opinion only.

Now the new scoop he has which Winnie already has is horn ... oh and of course the scoop on my car..lol

Mine was $20.

No good without pictures BA you should know that.
Plus its a GU thing
Scoops are great till everyone has one, then there are like belly buttons

Has AB fitted that WRX scoop yet they are reasonably tall?

[threedogs]

I thought they were taller than that or can you get aggressive WRX scoops as well.
Does it work with the light bar on top the bull bar??

[Bloodyaussie]
