Yea, I was just about to say...you can cut if out if you wanna keep your hoodlatch cool. if you pop the hood and look at it, it's pretty obvious.


On a sidenote....I didn't bother reading the superlong quoted post above as to why ram air doesn't work....but my 3rd gen picked up a solid 1.5 mph in the quarter mile when I made the ram air hood functional. So if its not supposed to work....I dunno why it did. Why were the Ss and ram air trans ams faster too? Weird.
Heres a pic of my home made not supposed to work ram air:
