    What are the vents to the left and right of the carbon fiber scoop for, if not to allow air in/out? Very curious. This hood looks amazing to me and I must get one for Jesse's girl eventually!

    The vents in th rear are channeled to the nose. So there is only a 6"x6" hole (my guess) over where the intake would be. The rest is sealed.

    I think i really just need to see a picture of the underside of this hood. It would probably make a lot more sense to me.

    OK so I found one:

    I wonder how the heck the ram air works with a snorkel that has a sealed air box?!?

    Well done. Do you see what I mean about the channels?

    Oh I'm with you on the channels. I'm guessing those side vents allow the air rammed in the front to escape the hood to keep cool air flowing over the intake. Still baffled on the snorkel pic.

    Must be a sealed system. There are baffles in between the intake in front of the hood and the rear vents, so no water is getting in that way.

    We haven't submerged ours however.

    Do not submerge it.....unless you have a hemi laying around....6.4 only.
