('98-'00) SF5 larger scoop / splitter

Clinically_Ill · 12-09-2012, 09:23 PM

Ok, so doing research I've discovered my only option for a larger scoop on my SF5 is a 2002 JDM STi scoop (bugeye sti) it needs slight modification (sanding and a bit of filling) to fit but will work, now I am wondering will the splitter also work? This would be better and works better for a larger intercooler (which I will eventually be upgrading too) but I have only found info on the scoop itself not the splitter.
THANKS

I literally just posted an update on this on Friday... There is another scoop option available from a company based out of Australia. Their larger SF5 scoop is available in either fibreglass or carbon fibre.

There is no reason that your factory SF5 splitter won't work with a larger scoop. A larger intercooler however is a different story.

Here is my post from the other thread:

There is a larger 01-02 STi styled scoop available for the 97-02 Foresters which has been available since late 2010 (apparently)

The scoop is made by Ultrex (as seen on Mighty Car Mods) based out of Australia.
They offer two versions of their first-gen Forester scoop.
There is the basic fibreglass version seen HERE, and a carbon fibre version seen HERE.

For more information you can click on either of the links above, or check out their website. So now those of you who are looking for a bigger scoop for their scooped JDM SF5 hood, look no further!

Oh thats wicked man I never found that company! However the shipping selection only lets me select Australia and I cant find contact info to ask about Canadian shipping haha, I might have to try my computer and not my phone internet.

Ya I can always make a custom splitter if need be when I upgrade my intercooler cuz Im unsure of which one I am going to go with yet

^Their website says to contact them for international shipping estimates.

Yeah I just couldnt find there contact info but I'm also on my phone at the moment and sometimes websites dont show everything on it, I'd assume if I get a Process West intercooler for a 2002 WRX it would work on my EJ20 and the splitter with it would work with that hoodscoop? If anybody has that knowledge?
