AR Design oil cooler & air scoops
Anyone running air scoops & an AR Design oil cooler? I can't look at the clearance because I'm away from my car for a few more weeks. If you have this setup please let me know what brand scoops you have. Thanx

I have the AR Oil cooler and I don't think there is any way it will fit with scoops. The cooler sits right behind the kidney grills and is a pretty snug fit

The oil cooler partially blocks one of the intakes behind the grille and in general sits exactly where you would fit the scoops. Which is why I went with a cold air intake to improve the airflow for the engine which I believe has slightly decreased due to the oil cooler blocking the stock intake. Alpina_B3_Lux

Thanx for the info. I have Stetts intake installed so that wasn't my reasoning for the scoops. Living in Louisiana the temps are in the 100's much of the time so I was looking for any way to cool the engine compartment.
