Default Are WRX bonnet scoops interchangable?

I have a bugeyed WRX (MY01), am I able to simply get a scoop off a newer model (MY04 for eg.) and chuck it on mine without having to do any mods?

Thanks in advance
Paul

I'm thinking the same, but am too scared to get one until I'm certain

Steve, maybe you'll be able to tell me how many extra Kw it will give me?

You can't do a direct swap of an 03/05 STi Scoop to a MY01/02 Have to get a specially made one.

Exactly

Then you will want a bigger topmount, and the correct underscoop splitter to push the air directly into the tmic and to prevent air getting past it.

Yer all good dude - Do some readups on waterspray too, as they will help in summer.
