I highly doubt it unless you bugled the hood to allow more room under there..its a pretty tight fit on both LSJs and LNFs.

Is it Possible? Sure if you got money and time..
Is it Worth it? Prob not. lol

Front mount means cooler IATs and more power potential vs top mount. The scoobys upgrade to front mounts why would you downgrade your car's performance just for looks?

well even though its a minor loss in power that would be an expensive setup. custom charge pipes, intercooler, brackets and most importantly some hood work.

Front mounts are generally superior. You won't be able to get as much surface area with a top mount.

OP listen to Term and Omio..
FYI, that suby scoop is only effective below 105mph. It was virtually useless at over that speed. This was base on the shape of a 04-05 wrx/STi hood. Proven with an intake temp probe.

I had a front mount, top mount and a rear mount for reverse pulls... My iat's never went above -60*. I was spraying 100% liquid nitrogen though.. You'll never be as cool as me!

Heat soak, and remember that a boxer isn't as tall as our inline 4.

go do a few wot throttle pulls and youch your front mount, then go do the same in a mazdaspeed and touch their top mount, you will burn yourself on the top mount.

Lol not too bad... I always wanted a scoop on my hood but different. It would be cut into the hood, not protruding out. It would be cut sharp like the other front bodylines, around a foot or so wide and be like right on top front of where the supercharger is.

It only works if you convert to AWD.
