Question for the ones with scoop grill removed

İ noticed a really loud whistle\wind noise over 200km/h, i didnt hear it before when the scoop was there. I couldnt think of anything else that could make it but scoop. Anybody else experience that?

Put it back on and drive at 200km/h. If the noise is not there, yes the scoop is the difference.

There is no place, besides a track, here in the states that lets you legally go that fast......especially for an extended amount of time to check for a whistle. So, I doubt you'll get very many responses.

Think I remember another post from a fellow person here in Europe. Believe there's a design flaw in the windscreen (windshield) seal and start to pronounce itself @ ~ 90mph. Would have the seal checked because of safety concerns. Don't believe it's because of the air flowing in and over the engine from the intake removal.
