The stock inlet for the IC ducting is in a high pressure zone. The scoop on this hood is in a low pressure zone. So while your car may look faster it's not actually going to gain you any performance...I don't care what your butt dyno has to say.
Read the PDF that bacarl posted...then you might actually understand what he was trying to tell you.
This hood is for looks only.

I DIDNT GET THE HOOD FOR PERFORMANCE. if anyone paid that much money for the amount of performance you would get out of that hood then they are dumb..

Is the red one yours? I've been looking at that same hood, debating if I want to go with an FMIC for less than the hood itself - although more air into the engine room wouldn't hurt either way.
Will it add 20+whp? Nope... but it will cool the engine compartment a bit more, also allowing airflow from the high pressure zone to push air through the compartment instead of into it - there's not much downdraft outside of the TMIC compartment since it seals well.

related question,,, what are your thoughts of getting rid of the stock intercooler cover, and basically not using any cover at all. will that improve airflow or more likely allow the engine to cool down quicker?
or rather is that a surefire way to open yourself up to future issues w/ the vehicle.
thx!

Yea the intercooler cover offers a seal so all the air is directed through the intercooler. Some have cut the cross hatching out but I think that helps direct air into the intercooler as well, if you look they are angled down into the intercooler.

I think he meant the red kevlar weave
Does anyone know the OEM for this hood and how/where to order from??
Does anyone have a bonnet like this pic, but only in red?
I'm considering buying one.
