Functional hood scoop?

I thought the 35th Anniversary GTs had the raised hood scoop common to the 01+ GTs

Well what you could do is buy some light weigh sheet metal and make a thin square piece, all welded to gether except the top, then weld the open top of it to the underside of your hood right over the hole, to seal it.Then make a runner from the main box, like 4inches wide with about 2inch tall sides with the top open and weld it to the hood (very simular to the SS camaros hood) and run it along the top of the hoodand curve back around to the front of the hood, all the way to you airfilter.If the intake is stock, curve the 2 by 4 inch sheet metal down right over the plastic air filter holder.Cut a piece out of the plastic that is a little bigger than the outside deminsions of the metal air runner and then when you close your hood the protruding runner fits right down into the plastic filter housing about a half inch or maybe a little less.be sure to mold some rubber on both peices to ensure a tight fit, and also plug off the air silencer so that the engine can only pull air through your home made ram air system.Now if you didnt understand that, here is how it works, the air comes into the hood scoop, right down the hole you cut in the hood into the enclosed box attached to your hood, then the air is forced down the corridor that you plugged into that metal box (be sure to pre cut that hole into the metal box so you can just put the runner right into it and seal it up) straight into the stock air filter holder and then right into your engine.You could clean that design up so that it would flow better, but you get what I am saying.Thats what I would do if I were to do that and if you have a S/C I wouldnt go through all that, I would just let the scoop blow straight down onto the intake manifold so that I would get a SLIGHTLY cooler intake charge by cooling all that down a bit.
