SS functional hood i just read on another thread about how a guy said all ss hoods are functional. i'm a little concerned cause i've looked at my hood and all it seems to be is a just appearance mod. the vent is just there and leads to nothing. or is it hidden somewhere to where i can;t see or noticed. but my ss is real cause i looked a the codes inside of the door and it has the code. so are some ss hoods functional, and others aren't? please let me know thanks

it goes from the middle where the scoop is, around to the front where the lid is.
noticed it lines up with the bottom of the lid.

I dont think Ive ever seen a non functional aftermarket hood, of course, I havent been looking either.

Principles of fluid dynamics dictate that any pressurization of fluids by induction into a cone or through a frustum at speed is negligable at any speeds slower than that of sound. These hoods are cold air intakes at best, nothing more.

Yeah yeah, unfortunately, air is a fluid.
Definition accoring to the american heritage dictionary:
fluid - A continuous, amorphous substance whose molecules move freely past one another and that has the tendency to assume the shape of its container; a liquid or gas.
Liquids and gasses both behave predictably according to established mathematical models.
