Default factory hood scoops

First post, first question.
I just custom ordered my first mustang.A 2008 mustang gt. The order included a gt appearance pkg (rolled exhaust tips, an engine cover with a Pony emblem and a hood scoop).- just a few things to make it more unique I guess...however the question I have encountered that I cannot seem to find an answer to by googling is if the hood scoop is just for looks or is it actually functional?
Don't get me wrong I am pumped either way about this car. Any help is appreciated.-Graham

Well thanks for the responses, I don't know that I will be taking a sawzaw to anything right away. In my opinion if it is not functional, maybe it should go away. Maybe I will figure out how to remove it.-graham
