they are open in the back so I guess they are "functional" but you would really have to rig something up to make it a real cowl induction but probably not worth it.

Functionality-wise, the only thing the hood will do is dissipate heat more quickly than a stock hood.

Well, obviously the center line does nothing...

I was thinking the hot air could escape out the back....

It can also provide clearance for those with "special" mods...
