I'm not questioning your functional choices, I was just saying that a mailbox-sized scoop isn't exactly low-profile.

And before you think I'm throwing stones, I have the same mailbox-sized scoop stock on my car.

I just don't consider it "sleeper".

Did you also retrofit the larger splitter from the 04-05 STi scoop? If not, you're directing air to the wrong places under the hood.

I actually considered going to a lower-profile scoop to remove some of the obnoxiousness from the front end, but didn't want to hassle with getting a shorter splitter, having fitment issues, etc, just to cut my airflow.

I just thought the big scoop, LED's and aftermarket lighting were counterproductive to a "sleeper" concept. Carry on
