M7 scoop on today

I put it on in 10 minutes. 5 of that was getting the tools out.....very easy.

The difference so far is not dramatic but noticeable. I do have the Alta IC. The car is back to running strong. It is in the high 80s here in Atlanta today and the car feels like it is in the 40s in the winter.

More later,

Bob

I have one coming later this week, along with the GRS IC. Ideally, I'd like to log IAT's with the introduction of each mod. From the various accounts I've heard thus far, I'm expecting some decent gains...

I also have the scoop and alta tmic and you can definitly tell a difference at speed. Just seems more consistant.

Very cool. I like the scoop with the body color. Slightly more stealthy!

Thanks, M7 did a nice job on the paint. Also the quality is very high. the stock scoop is just a piece of plastic like from a Mattel toy.

Hi Tony,
Let us know how you like the GRS IC. That's next on my list.
Thanks!

Thanks......it took me a while......*chicks don't dig it.......but I think it's cool.

*I showed to a female friend who owns an 05 MCS and she thought it looked like a nose and wanted to paint nostrils on it.

Yup! Mine is very nice Now just to update your sig

Also is the scoop really a drivetrain mod or an exterior mod I think both

You need to update your sig to reflect the hood scoop Spider X. That is the color i have on order, and i love the look of the scoop on it.
