where does the scoop draw air from? where the fog light is or tow hook? if tow hook does it ave to be removed for it to work??

 

it draws it from the passenger side tow hook opening. You have to remove the tow hook to install the scoop, but you can re-install it after the scoop is in place. You don't lose the funtionality of the tow hook, but it is in the way of the scoop.

 

do you have the tow hook back in place? pics??

 

I removed the tow hooks on my 99 with the Volant scoop, I imagine that the newer ones would be the same. The tow hook bolt helps secure it, but you don't need the tow hook. I put some large washers around the bolt to help distribute torque evenly, but that's not really necessary.

Here's a pic:



Here's the driver's side just for kicks...I made an ABS plastic plate to cover the wide open hole...

 

if i got it i would want to keep th tow hook. how well do yall think it would work with the stock air box,as far as mounting it to it??

 

I left my tow hook in with my Volant scoop. Like Billy said, it helps stabilize the scoop.

 

any pics with the tow hook in??

 

I have this one, but you really can't see diddly

 

did you guys notice any gains from the scoop??

 

Not that I could tell really...I went from stock to a K&N FIPK that I used for 5 years, and didn't feel any real noticeable difference (except noise and an optimistic hope that I was getting at least a few extra HP to the rear wheels for the coin that I dropped). Then I went from the K&N to the Volant system with scoop, and it felt the same as the K&N to me. I like the closed system and scoop though as the fit and fitment on mine is great (although I read a thread where one guy's Volant air box wasn't properly drilled for the MAF sensor), I looks nice, and I feel like I'm utilizing a system that is theoretically the best technology available...FWIW (shrugging my shoulders as I type lol).
