ADM Scoop

Is this product worth it? I have ARH LTs, flow master cat back, rotofab, and a tune.

Adding a scoop will increase air flow to your intake and add some power. For the money and ease of installation it is a pretty good bang for your buck.

IF I have the weak air flow sensor and get a good one along with the scoop, do you think I would really be able to notice something?

If you are suffering the ill effects of a "weak" MAF and swap to a "strong" one then that alone is very noticeable. If all you have on the intake side is your Roto-Fab then you probably are not flowing enough air for the symptoms of a "weak" sensor to really be kicking but the addition of a scoop might do it. A scoop and a ported throttle body definitely would.

It will give you an extra 4-5 hp but typically speaking, you won't physically notice any difference in hp that is less than a 10 hp change. Meaning your car will be faster with the scoop but you just won't be able to feel it.

Now the difference in going from a weak MAF to a strong MAF is like night and day, scoop or not.

Sorry Chase I have one more question. Were you saying that if I weak sensor and changing it to a new one wouldn't really help since I only have a rotofab on the intake side?

What I was saying is that a Roto-Fab alone is not usually enough for the ill effects of a "weak" sensor to start presenting. It usually takes a little more air flow for it to start acting up, like when you add a scoop and/or ported throttle body.

Yes the scoop is worth the money imo. Look at where your resticted air is coming from now and then imagine a big opening to the lower grille with no water bottle in the way. I no longer run a behind the headlight cai, but if I did there would be another scoop going on at the same time.

So this scoop mounts behind the lower grille? If so does anyone have a picture of it behind the grille?

This may be a stupid question, but is there a lower grill that helps send the air to the scoop? For example does that lower grill with the square openings on right and left side do anything for air flow?

I looks no different than stock once it is installed. The scoop is powder coated black so it disappears behind the grill.

Nothing that is designed to do it. The one you are referring to can work with modifications but there isn't really anything there that impeding air flow with the stock one. Here is a picture from one of our customers that did exactly what you are asking about.
