Mine has vanes directing air to front as well as rear of intercooler. intercooler works at say 60kph instead of STD 80 kph

Agree with bulbar comment. With standard scoop and bulbar, front half of intercooler does not work as seen in attached photo.

Agree 100% been saying this for ages, The GU was not designed to have a bulbar fitted it just negates to scoop.
Thankfully the after market ppl have saved the day

I got stopped by the police last month and told to remove the fishing rod holders I had on my bullbar or next time he would defect my vehicle and fine me $300. I went to the RMS and asked for their opinion and they told me the same thing. The fishing rod holders aren't allowed to be past the edge of the bullbar or it's illegal.

The law may be different in Qld. I have seen quite a few others around here with the same setup I had.

I think you're ment to loosen them and spin them out the way when not in use.

Its not that they wernt designed for a bullbar, the scoop is poorly designed. The majority of the opening is taken up by slow moving turbulant air called a boundry layer, only a very small amount of faster flowing air can actually enter the scoop, all that because it is too low.

They are also having to follow ADR requirements.

Is there link to take a look at the ARE scoops?
