deflector under scoop
Just put an LNR carbon fiber sti sized hood scoop on my hood, and the instructions say if you want to put the deflector(that thing that sits under the hood scoop on a stock hood) back on, you can. I would think you would only want to if it would do something good, like direct more air into the top mount. Does anyone know if this is the case?

It's essential to use some sort of factory deflector or splitter under the hood that mates up to the intercooler with a rubber seal. That's why both the WRX and STi come with a seal. I use the STi hood scoop with factory deflector and a simple splitter that I got for $35/shipped that installs into the deflector with no mods to the factory stuff. E-mail Russ (Russell) and ask about the discount to i-Club and NASIOC members.

I sell them on ebay for $38 shipped and $43 for the buy it now, and if you are interested, e-mail me back and I will sell for $35 shipped to i-club and nasioc members.
