02 gt hood
 

Well iv been looking around for a different hood one with a real hood scoop. and was wondering if there are any that look exactly like stock just the hood scoop works

Just make the one you have functional. Cut a hole in the hood and open up the hood.

but wont it fall of easy because the scoop is plastic

The hood scoop you have should be removable.

I had to install mine on my 2000 (didn't come with a hood scoop)

Lift the hood up. Pull the hood blanket off. There should be some nuts and washers bolting the scoop on. Unbolt the scoop and it should come right off. Drill a bunch of little holes in the hood (I think one big one would compromise integrity). Then in the black honeycomb part of the hoodscoop just drill holes where holes are supposed to be drilled if it was functional from the factory. Re-install the hood scoop. Don't forget to cut a hole in the hood blanket so the air can flow to the engine.

Is it beneficial at all tho?

From what I hear it cools the plenum and intake down a lot and helps. I personally haven't done it to my car but I do know how to do it and will be doing it this weekend.

Hey let me know how it works out for ya all i might do this

It wouldn't help much to make the factory '02 GT hood scoop functional (like the one in my sig). There is no high pressure air at the location where the hole would be... The only real spots to get good high pressure "ram" air is at the base of the hood by the windshield (cowl induction) like a Cobra. Or at the leading edge of the hood like some older classic musclecars used to do. Or if you wanna go extreme, you need to raise the scoop up about at least a foot & have a forward facing hole, like a snorkle scoop on a Pro Stock car.

I dont mean functional like a mach 1 shaker scoop I mean functional as in air is getting forced into the engine bay helping slow heat soak and keeping certain parts cool, which it would do.
