When the air actually goes to the air intake, and not just a plactic piece like on the 99up mustangs.Then: 1997 3.8L Red Firebird~SOLD!~<p>Now: 2002 Atlantic Blue Dodge Ram 1500 -
Since I have one, I can show you exactly how it works.
Picture of my hood, grill removed. You can see theres an actual hole there, unlike on a mustang.
Picture of the underside of the hood. You can see the air travels around the two passages on the left and right and ends up at the front of the hood.
Picture of the openings. The air comes out these holes directly into the opening under your airbox.
A non-functional hood would have no opening in the hood, and thus have no need for the air ducts inside and the opening in the front.
Hope that helps :DComment

That's why the WS6 flows more air to the airbox. The routing on the SS Air ducting is gay. Look at those little openings. Compare that to a WS6.Comment

The SS hood is actually just a cold air set up, it's not sealed, so it can't actually produce a ram effect. The WS6 is sealed, and it's a straight in design, the air filter is right behind the scoops, and then into the MAF, intake, and so on.Wife and a dog, they both think they\'re Kujo.<br /> <br />1999 3.8 A4 Y87<br />Navy Blue Metallic<br />BFG G-Force KDWS 275/40/17s, <br />WS6 Wheels (17x9)<br />Phoenix Transmissions 2400 Stall Converter<br />FRA, Holley Powershot filter, Whisper Lid, Ported Throttlebody<br />2000 manifolds, Flowmaster, WS6 Tail Pipes, <br />MSD 8.5mm Wires, MSD Coils, Autolite plugs<br />Performance Cryogenics treated rotors<br />1LE Sway Bars and panhard rod, 1LE front springs w/SLP Bilsteins, stock rear springs w/ 3rd Gen Bilsteins, BMR STB, KBDD SFCs, 1LE rear lower control arms, 1LE front lower control arms<p>1968 Chevelle Malibu 327 TH350Comment
