If you want to keep it for any length of time then yes you would have to drill your hood. The RPI scoop isn't closed off like the stock scoop so its going to act like a sail going down the road. If it's just taped all that air trapped between the scoop and hood is going to rip it right off.

Im trying to decide which way i would like to go. I was somewhat sold on trying to get a new hood before i fully realized how expensive it would really be compared to a scoop. Saving money is always a priority of mine but i also love to look good. I like the roush scoop and i also like the cervini's ram air hood. Any opinions/ info would be greatly appreciated. What kind of money have you guys spent after paint/installation on either?

I am kicking myself for not ordering scoop delete as they just don't look right. And since I found a great deal fairly local on a Foose hood, that will be replacing my "scooped" hood very soon

I really like the rpi scoop especially at 180 painted but i really dont like the fact that its just open at the end. has anyone found or fabricated a plastic insert to put there? was it hard to install?
