They look great. So are they from BRP or aftermarket?

Guessing this was more plug and play since the bodywork on the 14 / 15 already has a grille in the scoop location. Possibly no cutting was even needed???
The scoops look nice and no doubt cool the cowled areas.
The question I have, is with the scoops blocking the airflow around the bodywork, it seems the riders would have less airflow. This assumes you had the adjustable BRP deflectors. If you ran the stock wind deflectors it is probably the same.
With the adjustable deflectors, it can force air into the upper oem grille, and also aim the airflow towards the riders.
Curious what you found is the best setup.

Hi Al,
Those are from BRP. They developed them as a solution to the 2013 RT's overheating problems.

What kind of advantages are you seeing with this?

Same grill vents as on all RT's and yes you have to do the same cutting to the panel.

LOOKS GREAT !!
Where does the air coming in through the vents, vent to ?? Out the lower vents on the sides ??
Just wondering cause on my new 15 RTS, I am having excessive heat issues (coming out the lower vents on each side and venting big time between my seat & glove box area).
:-) I know there will be some heat (heck your sitting almost on top of the motor), but I'm getting WAY more heat than my 2011 RTS did.
Think I'm gonna post this as a question in the forums. I'm rambling here !! Sorry !!

I don't know for sure where it exits, but on my 2013 where the heat would build and come out around the seat and glovebox area, it now seems to pull air in from there. It seems like the airflow is so good that there is a little vacuum action going on and outside air is being pulled in where heat used to escape. I'm thinkin' it's going down and out the back. I'd love to see the wind tunnel test that I'm sure was done.

You're right, the combination of adding the scoops and taking away the deflectors, including the Baker Built Inner Panels, cut the air flow way back for me. Here is what I did to resolve the situation.

You can order any color as long as it is BLACK. If you want matching colors you will have to get them painted yourself.

They are the BRP Scoops. Part number 219800388. As mentioned in other threads they are $67.00 plus tax. The vents are a great accessory at an unbelievable price from BRP.

The upper body panel design has remained unchanged. Same design 2010 thru 2015.
The scoops look nice and no doubt cool the cowled areas.
The question I have, is with the scoops blocking the airflow around the bodywork, it seems the riders would have less airflow. This assumes you had the adjustable BRP deflectors. If you ran the stock wind deflectors it is probably the same.

I had the adjustable air deflectors and I am not impressed with there operation. Yes they allow air to flow back to the rider lower body but because of the venturi effect it draws hot air up thru the vent located there. To prove this just put you hand in the area of the vent and you will feel the hot air coming out thru the vent directed back to the rider. Here in South Georgia in 95 plus temps and a heat index of over 110 all you need is more heat from the engine compartment.
Curious what you found is the best setup.
My thoughts are I want to cram as much air under the tupperware as possible to move the hot air out. I have the vented windshield to put air on the upper body. Don't need it for the lower body because of the new design of radiators on the 2014-2015 RT.

Price above. You don't need the template. Send me a PM with your E-mail address and I'll send you a PDF file on how I did the install.

Out thru the sides and bottom.

As explained above. Plus one of the very first mods I did was the CAT Bypass.
If anyone wants the instructions on how I installed them without the template send me a PM with your E-Mail address.
