Process West Hood Scoop Splitter Subaru Forester XT 2004-2008 | PWSP06

One of the most overlooked steps when upgrading a Subaru intercooler is proper airflow control. Without a correctly sized hood scoop splitter, even a high-performance intercooler upgrade will struggle to deliver its full potential.

Why It Matters

A larger intercooler core increases cooling surface area—but airflow must be directed correctly:

• Factory splitter retained: Restricts airflow across the larger core
• Splitter removed: Air bypasses the intercooler entirely
• Proper splitter installed: Forces air directly through the intercooler for maximum efficiency

Without proper sealing, heat soak increases and intake air temperatures rise—reducing power and consistency.

Process West Solution

The Process West Hood Scoop Splitter is engineered to form a complete seal between the hood scoop and intercooler core, ensuring all incoming air is directed through the intercooler.

Key benefits include:

• Maximizes airflow through the entire intercooler surface
• Eliminates air bypass and uneven cooling zones
• Improves charge air temperature stability under load
• Enhances overall intercooler efficiency and performance

Designed specifically for the stock Forester XT hood scoop and Process West Top Mount Intercooler systems, it completes the airflow system for optimal results.
