What about water getting in there? It's not really practical to me. Also,
you are going to get a lot of crap in your engine bay. Why not just take
out the corner lens when you go to the track? The air goes straight to
where the filter goes. I just don't believe they help enough to warrant
cutting a hole and gluing a cavalier hood scoop on your hood and risk
getting water in your engine. You might as well just get a damn CAI.
