Bonnet flutes would be more effective if heat extraction is wat ur after. Use the lower air pressure created over the bonnet of ur car when driving to withdraw the heat. Hot air rises naturally, why try to blow hot air down over ur engine with a bonnet scoop.......??? Asshole ya self!!!

Slow VR has it the nail on the head if you really wanna actually extract the heat from your engine a flute is the way to go. A scoop is can be used as a CAI in some applications.

However it is possible that a scoop can be used for cooling, for instance a WRX uses a scoop to pass air through the intercooler.

my 2cents

Nice, looks good! also looks like you have the best of both worlds there, looks like that scoop also has an opening at the back letting air pass straight through...

yeah 'vn2nv', i heard the same thing about rear facing scoops in WA . has to do with if something blows then chances are it's going to end up all over the windscreen.
