I think even if you take the grill out no more air will get into the engine because of the way the hood and the intake is constructed.

It's not going to help with cold air into the engine. It will let water get on the motor though when it rains or you wash it.

RE: hood scoop question...

It still wont make a difference in preformance unless you get a shaker kit, which i belive you can do with that hood, and they look bad @$$
