Ill post some pics of it... i drove it in the rain and it didnt get too much water into the engine but so much heat rolls out of that scoop its amazing. it droped my engine temp down 5-20 degrees

Yea the factory hoodscoop. I forget what years have them but i think it is worth cutting all that stuff out .

Under the scoop it looks just like the V6 and early gt hoods. I cut where the honeycomb on those hoods would be. I also cut the hood liner. Then I drilled the honeycomb out in the scoop. I glued 1/4 in foam materal to the hood to catch any water.

The flames on your cold air intake are defeating the purpose[:-]

if you took a v6 hood (the heat extractor kind) and pulled the rubber n crap out of it, would it work like the cobra hood?
