Hope it is the right one (to fit all US and 2002-2007 UK rather than 2008-2010 UK).

Anyone know if fitting R/H Scoop around after market (Micron) headers is an issue?

My new toy has a full Micron pipe fitted and I suffer from a similar heat problem.

No a normal R/H scoop does not fit with the micron.

Rob from pegasus customizing did make also r/h scoops for the microns back in the days.
he still make scoops ,but only the normal scoops.

I modified one to fit with the micron on my 12s

I like that - what did you use to form the cut out round the pipe?

A piece of thin sheet metal from a old microwave oven.
At first i tried with thin alloy plate ,but that would not go into shape.

Just a update ...as I am really impressed with my right hand air scoop, it really does help , the fan doesn't come on so often as it did , and My Arse isn't so hot if I'm stuck in traffic, which is a bonus ! Thanks for the advise guys .
