See some Outbacks/Legacys have stock hood scoops and some don't. I thought maybe the 6cyls did but then see that many 4cyl do. Was there a particular year that do or don't? Are they fuctional?

Wanting to know just to help me identify years and models.

The ones with hood scoops are turbo models. I think from '95 on?

Sorry Gnuman but all the subaru's driving around with hood scoops dont have turbo's. I have a 98 Legacy 2.5 GT w/ a hood scoop and no turbo.. the scoop is "functional" as far as letting free air into the engine bay to help keep things "cool" i guess. I don't know when they started putting the scoops on the non-turbo'd soobies.. but they do it.

Any subaru with a hood scoop from 1995 till 2004 that was NOT a WRX has a non-functional hoodscoop.

 

1991-1994 turbo legacies had scoops.

 

199?-2005 wrx have scoops that work

 

2005 Legacies have functional hoodscoops.

 

 

Although, the 91-94 turbo legacies didnt have an intercooler so they also were kinda non-functional!
