If you are referring to the two plates inside the hood nostriles.... then No. You will not "suck something up". As long as you keep the front nostrile grills and an air filter.

You won't suck anything up. It will be stopped by the filter. I am debaffled as well. I run the stock screens in the scoops during daily driving and take them out at the track.

i would assume it would look something like a ram air hood grills like the screen in front of the blues brothers in the pic i posted. In that scene one of the band members asks "chicken wire?"

I personally like the popes. I imagine your car is running a lot better after removing them. Was that car considered the pope-mobile?
