Absolutely agreed ... scoops have been around for quite some time now and all I read is theory to prove one's belief that it works or doesn't.
As rudimentary as this youtube video is ... it's the closest thing I've seen to the idea of scoops working; or perhaps more like proof they route more air to the air box. And this is based upon up to 25mph wind speeds ... not the amount of wind chill factor / forced air pressures one would get at highway speeds. (plus you get to hear a bit of classic Michael
)
.... However it does not answer the question of percentage of increase ... if any relevant increase ... or decrease for that matter. I highly doubt you're going to get anywhere near a 10% gain. Heck a silicone intake has been purported to give a slight increase ... so why not scoops?
Plus for the price ... if they can aid you car in efficiency in any way, that might be something to think about.
