None of those are functional except the cowl induction hood and all that does is blow air into an engine compartment that can't get enough air out to start with. The cars come with hood flutter problems and these hood scoops if they do anything at all only exacerbate that. Look at the Touring GT1 cars see any hood scoops? See any exhaust vents? Race cars use what works. Hood scoops are left over dinosaurs from a time when they didn't understand aero.
Edit: Also, never had any hood flutter issues with my stock '11 GT hood, nor my Cervini's hood. My '08, with no scoop, shook like it was going to fly off over 80mph.

And it would get more fresh air in if the scoop was turned around facing the windshield. It goes as fast as it does in spite of that scoop not because of it.

I run the factory scoop. Look at the Stalker Hood. They make it complete carbon fiber also, that's what I'm considering. I just can't find any pictures of it installed.
