Yes. No way would I run one again without a scoop, and there are other many other threads asking this same thing. Know what I'm sayin

According to our customers, yes.

Car pulls much harder now, and sounds different too...

So I definitely recommend it!

I would like to say APEX has super fast shipping, I placed my order on Friday evening and received it on Wednesday.

so your telling me this intake is pointless without a scoop?

infernostripes! · 02-11-2012, 09:30 PM

No! lol you'll get an extra boost with it

The CAI offers a lot without a scoop but more with it.

MoCamaro20 · 02-11-2012, 09:59 PM

thanks guys i guess i will find out feb 15th. i hope i feel a difference.

MoCamaro20 · 02-11-2012, 10:00 PM

one more thing. how do you think the CAI will react to my resonator delete? i deleted it and put straight pipes

jsharp · 02-11-2012, 10:02 PM

DO THE SCOOP!!!

IROCanSS · 02-11-2012, 10:04 PM

I got the scoop sitting in my garage waiting to go on, along with my one piece driveshaft. Come on spring...

i will probably eventually get the scoop. just not anytime in this month

1FAST SS · 02-11-2012, 10:23 PM

The scoop allows for more air flow to the CAI. The more air you can get the better it will run.

MoCamaro20 · 02-11-2012, 10:25 PM

did any of you guys feel a difference without the scoop?

infernostripes! · 02-11-2012, 10:29 PM

I felt a big difference in sound and power. Don't worry about the power your going to get from a 50 dollar scoop there IS going to be gains but nothing huge. I guess its for people who like to get all the hp they can get. Im ordering my scoop from adm and washer relocater from apex. Im also getting a vmax throttle body for spring break so I should notice some good gains
