Not really. I have a pair of the bigger opening ones. I put a temperature sensor in the engine bay and checked it before installing the scoops. Then checked it again after the install.There was only about 5-8 degrees difference. More cosmetic than anything. Its just a preference thing. Nonfunctional.
The ones you have pictured grab even less air. Do Luck makes those too. I have seen them on Ebay also.

The point is if you like them, then put them on your car. I think scoops look good on the mr2, That doesn't mean I'm gonna go out and put one on mine but don't let someone else tell you that you/ your girl shouldn't put in on your/her car

Thank You....
I found his post to be verbose, insulting and condescending.
