Process West Hood Scoop Splitter Subaru Forester XT 2004-2008 w/ JDM Hood Scoop | PWSP07

One of the most overlooked steps when upgrading a Subaru intercooler is proper airflow management. Without a correctly sized hood scoop splitter, even the best intercooler upgrade will fall short of its potential.

Why It Matters

A larger intercooler core increases cooling capacity—but only if airflow is properly directed:

• Factory splitter retained: Restricts airflow across the upgraded core
• Splitter removed: Air bypasses the intercooler, reducing cooling efficiency
• Correct splitter installed: Forces air directly through the intercooler for maximum performance

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

Process West Solution

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

Key benefits include:

• Maximized airflow across the entire intercooler surface
• Eliminates air bypass and uneven cooling zones
• Improves charge air temperature stability under load
• Enhances the effectiveness of upgraded intercooler systems

Designed specifically to complement Process West Top Mount Intercoolers, it completes the airflow system for optimal cooling efficiency.
