I know I am not helping exactly, but BEST MOD EVER!!:wink:

Dude, what are you talking about? the driver's side air scoop? If that is what you're talking about, dude, it is the cheapest power gain mod you can do.
I just installed the Downforce scoop in my stock 95.
I HATE it!!!
Here's why:
Installing it, I broke three fender liner fasteners.
My gas mileage took a 25% hit. I only got about 220 miles on a tank of gas.
I get a weird feeling everytime I am about to go through a tunnel. I get the urge to downshift and accelerate.
All kidding aside, I think it's the best $165 I've spent in a long time (thanks Peter).
The sound it makes is pretty sweet and it feels more responsive also.
The only problem, like I've mentioned above, is that the intake sound it makes comes on around 3000rpm. So that is the rpm range where I'm driving it now. No more driving it like an Accord. (kills the gas mileage, obviously).
I would recommend the Downforce air scoop to anyone that wants a "throatier" sound above 3000rpm.
btw, this is my first post and I'd like to thank all you guys for all the great advice and help on these forums. The information and inspiration you've given me have been invaluable.
Thanks again!

OK, just to be different... I have the Procar scoop which is CF...
The Procar scoop caused a slight bulge in the wheel well fender liner...
Has anyone else had this issue with either the Cantrell or Downforce scoops?

Yes, the Downforce gives a slight bulge. It causes the wheelwell liner to bulge as well
:biggrin: :wink:

I've installed 3 of them. No bulge, just tricky getting it in each time because I keep forgetting the best position to have it in.

Which bulge are you referring to? The wheelwell liner or crotch?:biggrin:
I love it so much that I installed it into every opening I can find. 2 in the front air dam, 2 sides, and 2 rear ...now my car sounds like a hurricane now.

What do you think about this one. I noticed that some vendors sell products for a fair price at first then they make them to expensive. :frown:
