If you look under the hood now, the airflow is split 2 ways from an intake in the grill. Some goes to the air intake and some goes to the intercooler.

This would increase airflow probably to both, but whether the engine will take advantage of it would need to be tested.

Also, the decrease in aerodynamics will hurt above 50mph. CD definitely will go up a bit.

My eyes are green! I would do this if I thought I could get away with it. Sounds like a 3k ordeal.

As long as it doesn’t hurt performance, I’d get one if I ever need a replacement after accident or hail damage. I like the look.

Shipping alone would be expensive.

3 Subarus and all of them had the hood scoop…. So yeah, kind of a brand thing imo.

So what IS the the price of this incredibly awesome and amazing looking hood which I will buy regardless of whether or not it does anything besides look like the arm candy it probably is?

Couldn't agree more. The Ascent needs a little more mean look to it. I will buy one also even if it does nothing. The look says it all!

I know this thread is a couple of years old,(thanks for all the info) I pulled the trigger today on the LXT hood,intercooler screen and belt cover. I just purchased the new 2022 Limited, Magnetite Grey Metallic. I’m newly retired so I guess its a mid-life thingy, and making the car my own. I had a 97 Suburban and install a hood with the cowl and the beast looked tuff with it. So does the Ascent!
