My 06 sti has a 04 scoop on the hood (it was the previous owner not me), anyways I might put the 06 one when I find one back on it. It's a little ghetto imo dont gey me wrong i love the 04 sti model a lot just about equal as I do the 06 just thought it was kind of weird of him to do what he did. Anyway let me know what you guys think.
My battery is slowly dying on me if I leave my car parked for more then 48 hours it won't crank till jump started or listen to my system anyways, probably next 2 weeks or so I will be replacing it. What are you guys running? Since I have a system is optima battery a good way to good which one will suite the sti better?
As far as the hood scoop s concerned I would get the biggest scoop you can without looking like you glued a jet turbine inlet on the hood. The idea of a hood scoop is to put air on the top mount. To that end you want a scoop with a nice big opening and a good sealing fairing to direct all that cool air over the top mount.
As for batterys you dont need to get an optima but their warranty is hard to beat. Any glass mat battery should be fine but for my $200 a yellow top will hold a very constant charge for a very long time. If you have a powerful system you might also want to look into capacitor.
I understand the whole air point which I seen the 04 scoop has a bigger opening then the 06
It's powerful buy not that bad all the car audio guys I have ever been too told me capacitors are a waste of time they almost serve no purpose unless you listen to music that doesn't have continuous bass drops then it has time to reload but if you listen to hip hop like I do I was told to forget about the cap but I do have one sitting here that I never installed I did also see a lot of research on how they don't help so decided not to go with one.
Anyways if I did pick up a optima who sells them where I can pick one up pick up same day or good deals online?
