Has anyone tried to make the hood scoop functional on there 02-4 mustangs?? Will this increase performance because i have a CAI and I know that sucks in hot air?

Your cai filter shouldn't be mounted in the engine bay, is it?

I've been driving with a hole cut in my honeycomb and my hood for almost a year with no problems and nothing getting it there

do you have the hole cut all the way through the hood?
if you did cut all the way through, how did you "finish" the hole out.....is it still raw metal or did you use some kind of trim? How did you keep all the insulation on the unserside of the hood from sagging onto the engine?
details please.

I started out with the plan to suck air through the scoop. Everyone seems to think that just because the air is coming through the scoop that it has to be rammed in there by the speed of the car. Just accept the fact that your engine sucks air, and if you have a path from the intake to the scoop it will suck from the scoop, even at a standstill. That being said, I cut a hole in my hood as well as drilling out the honeycombs, but that's as far as I got. I just fastened that insulation back in place just the way it was. My original plan was to weld a metal path to the underside of the hood over to the air box, in such a way that when the hood closed, it sealed on top of the air box and drew air from the scoop. My metal abilities were lacking, so I abandoned the project. I have seen it done on at least one truck though.

Do you feel like it helps anything?
By the way....after I typed that in my question, I realized that the hood is not metal anyway, so you son't have to worry about rust LOL.
