If you don't like the scoop, get an RS.
Or get an RS hood w/ an FMIC.

my question is will the new '06 scoop fit on the '05 hood? I recently went from a STi scoop to a WRX scoop and the '06 STi scoop sems to be in the middle of the two sizes. I wanted to try one.

WTF?????
no. Get a black FMIC and an RS hood. Pull your badging and put on nothing or RS badging. Only way to go less noticeable.
it's a hood scoop. it's functional.

). And RS hood is heavy, maybe I would get the replica that is light. My hood is alum and I am not going to trade it out for a heavy *** hood.

I didn't realize the RS hood was so much heavier...good info. Maybe a CF one paint matched?

The 02/03 Splitter from ZeroSport DOES fit on the 06 hoodscoop.
SO...you "SHOULD" be able to use a 02/03 WRX hood scoop on the 06/07.
Although why you would further restrict air the the small intercooler that the 06/07 WRX has, I have no idea.
I'd stick with the stock scoop unless you are going FMIC with a RS style hood....

For some reason I no likey the looks of the reverse scoop. It's either the WRX scoop or none w/lightweight color matched hood for meh
speaking of clutches, I drove a Spec Stage 3 clutch and it is now my favorite clutch. Feeels like stock and holds 400+WHP on the gruppe-s dyno no problems.

so the 02-03 will fit on the 06-07, then the 02-03 sti scoop should also fit right. if so do you think the 02sti is better than the 06 stock?? just wondering.
