I'm not sure about the Firehawk hood, but I know people take out the baffles of their WS6 hood. Be careful in the rain. You might want put them back in if you're going to be driving in bad weather.

I removed the baffles, installed turbulence elimnation funnels, sealed the hood to air box, and even made up some rain shields for inclement weather. You can see pics by clicking on link in sig.

Good luck!
