   For the best savings money wise go for the Raceland scoop with a Green cone inside, take a look on www.kam-racing.com
   
   The Green item is a fair bit more money for not alot of gain I reckon, as its the filter that really makes the difference

   i like the look of the scoop with the green cone inside, does the scoop make much difference, is it like having an air feed?

   the scoop stops hot air from being drawn in from the engine bay. Better than an air pipe to an open filter as that requires airflow (and a moving car) to work

   They are great on the move and look great under the bonnet, I spaced mine slightly away from the slam panel as I felt that sitting flush it wasnt getting enough air and slight suffered at slow speeds under hard accleration.
   
   
   
   Hard to see the gap between the scoop and the slam panel from this angle, but its there. Compliments the bay nicely tho
   
   I could have butchered my slam panel to allow more air in but didnt feel it was worth it

    It wont quite give the same induction roar of a open filter but it does give a slight induction note, which is more noticable on a car with a factory exhayst system
