If it did, they'd probably have ready access to it and use it in their advertising! I'm not going to follow up anymore.So that's the end of the FVD Air Scoop story from here.

It's the proprietary Krazy Glue that really makes all the power. The special key in the pic is used to wind up the secret hamster-driven wing-actuation motor under the decklid.
(What the heck, I bought one anyway, I will post test results soon from my personal wind tunnel, aka the 12th Street tunnel linking D.C. and Northern Virginia.

Those are FVD tailor made carpets, I have them in my car in black with silver piping and GT3 CS logo and they are of very high quality and look the business! Think I paid approx. EUR 150.-

Guy's,
Although this thread seems to have wandered off into floor mat territory, my point regarding the scoop was to see if any of you lot are running the Cup Filter and how do you rate it? the reason for this is that i have found with the Cup Filter, there seems to be a lot of heat soak from the engine bay at lower speeds, which i have remedied with an underdeck air collector which funnels the air from the slot into the cup filter, effectively isolating it from the engine area, much like the cup cars have. And yes this available from Manthey as well!!
When i get home i will post pic to show what i mean.
My logic is that when you ally this to an above deck collector, this must make an improvement as more air is a good thing.
And from my experience, the improvement is from about 50mph onwards, definately track territory!!
Regards,
Steve

I doubt few if any Mk2 owners are running a cone cup setup because of MAF or other reasons (heat soak) at least here in the US. I may be wrong. For your situation the scoop seems like a no brainer... more fresh air the better

Rockit,
You can run a Cup Filter and retain the MAF, you just need a rightangle tube which affixes to the filter and MAF. This positions the filter under the air intake opening under the deck once you remove the air box. It's worth it just for the induction roar alone!!
You know you want it!!

Matrox,
As long as you keep the filter in good order, with K&N filter kit, no probs!!
I tend to clean mine every 2-weeks, but i also have a second filter, so i rotate them around, 1 on the car, 1 in the cleaner.
