best bonnet scoop fj40/45

Post by MEANRX »

Hey, need some advice on what people think about a good bonnet scoop for a fj40/45. I already have a fibreglass bonnet so not too keen on buying another bonnet with a scoop already in it. I was thinking maybe a scoop from fairline fibreglass. Any thoughts or pics? Cheers, Dan.

personally I'd prefer a GT bonnet over a scoop, but thats just me.

x2 anything more just doesnt suit them. Unless there is something big under the bonnet to make it worthwhile like this!

It's a personal choice thing. I like my hornet scoop without the big highrise base.

For the guys with scoops, do they really make much difference to a 40/45?
im thinking most wouldnt be top mount intercooled.
so its more like cooling down a V8 etc and does it make any noticeable difference?
