Not really...It just made for more drag on my car. The most efficient air supply your engine will receive is from the bottom of the engine bay and the side vents. Thats prolly why Toyota didn't make scoops in the first place. But I don't think anyone has actually done any temp tests prior and post to this modification.

If you or the O/P gets the scoop, please try and compile something, so that all of us would have a better idea of the functionality and purpose of these. My opinion is that its straight for looks, but with the Tom's scoops on my car made it look like a mouse from the front side view of the car. Gay....!
